Read Cathi’s reviews:
Christmas Presents by Lisa Unger – This Christmas Novella (meaning it’s shorter than 200 pages) is the perfect Holiday read. While it takes place in a small town, in a blizzard, and in a bookshop, this is not a cozy Christmas story. Madeline Martin is the only surviving victim of a serial killer and now has created a decent little life for herself, running her indie bookstore, taking care of her dad, when a true crime podcaster moves to town, intent on delving into her past, and looking at other cold cases of unsolved murders, questioning the prosecution of her serial killer. A great cast of characters lead this suspenseful, dark read, perfect for this time of year.
Prom Mom by Laura Lippman – Similar to Christmas Presents, Prom Mom opens with a young woman, Amber Glass who’s escaped her past, but is pulled back home to Baltimore, hoping for second chance, after a rough exit, years earlier, when she was known as Prom Mom, because she allegedly killed her newborn baby on prom night, a baby no one knew about. Joe, her prom date who abandoned her that night, still lives in Baltimore and she plans to stay away from him and his plastic surgeon wife, known as Cad Dad. But, the two are drawn together, and Joe asks Amber the unthinkable, pulling her into a criminal triangle.
The Exchange by John Grisham – Remember The Firm by Grisham? A young lawyer, Mitch McDeere, with a lot to prove, gets a sweet offer from a Memphis law firm Bendini, Lambert & Locke, who represented the mob, and the FBI decided to Mitch to take down the firm? This is the follow up to Mitch McDeere and his wife Abby. It’s 15 years later, they’re living in Manhattan, and Mitch is partner at the largest law firm in the world. When a mentor in Rome asks him for a favor that will take him far from home, Rome, Libya, London, Mitch finds himself and his family the target of terrorists, and he and Abby have to once again outsmart the bad guys.

Thanks ladies. I borrowed Lisa Unger’s, I like novellas, and Lippman’s. I read The Exchange and was disappointed. Happy Holidays to you both.
Thanks, Mary! Hope you liked Lisa’s book – we have a new episode up where we talked to her about it, and other things. Happy Holidays!
