Staff Favorite - Under Orders bya Dick Francis
TITLE: Under Orders
AUTHOR: Francis, Dick
CALL NO.: CD FRA (audiobook copy); book copy available through MeLCat interlibrary loan
One of the masters of British mystery writers has returned after a long absence. In his new novel, Dick Francis picks up where he left off with one of his best characters ever, Sid Halley. Halley, a retired jockey turned private investigator, is at his best working part time for a government agency and for one of horse racing’s richest owners. The story bounces back and forth between race track murders, race fixing and internet gambling with Sid, his ex-father-in-law, and his new love interest taxed to the limit to uncover the mysteries and ferret out the bad guys (and girls). An action packed thriller and who-dun-it sure to please long time Francis fans and anyone else who likes an enjoyable read.
Staff Favorite - Inexcusable by Chris Lynch
AUTHOR: Chris Lynch
CALL NO.: Teen FIC LYN
This was a very difficult story to read. If you have read the book Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson Inexcusable is the book from the male perspective of that story. Inexcusable is a story of how much destruction self-deception can cause. It is Keir’s version of his senior year of high school. Keir is an athlete, not real great at academics and he enjoys popularity and partying. He loves his family. Keir is a good boy; the kind of boy that follows the rules; the kind of boy everyone wants to be friends with, who know how to have a good time. And yet something goes terribly wrong. The hardest part about reading this book is that it is written as his thoughts so you are part of the self-deception up to the very end. As Keir likes to say, “The way it looks is not the way it is”. It is not an easy story to read, but definitely a story every good guy needs to read!
