Sepulchre by Kate Mosse

If you are a Francophile and/or a tarot enthusiast, this is the book for you. However, even though I’m neither, once I got into the book, I was absorbed enough to stay up until 3 a.m. finishing it. This is a tapestry of mysteries interwoven with strands of action and narrative from the late 19th century and those of today. There are romances, murders, and supernatural elements, as well as discussions of Fibonacci numbers, musical scales, and Debussy (to which I listened while reading some of this – it set the mood).

Manhunt by Janet Evanovich

This is a good summer romance set in the Alaskan winter. As the title suggests, it’s about a woman in her late 20s who has decided to leave the cold corporate world in NYC to find a warm man with whom to start a family in Alaska. She meets a hunky confirmed bachelor and the hunt is on. I don’t think I need to tell you how it ends.
