The Beautiful Cigar Girl: Mary Rogers, Edgar Allan Poe, and the Invention of Murder by Daniel Stashower
In this true crime tale of 1841 Manhattan, twenty-year-old cigar girl Mary Rogers was found brutally murdered and the incompetent NYPD could not seem to solve the crime. The ensuing public outrage and bungled investigation led famed writer Edgar Allan Poe to put the detective from his fiction magazine serial, C. Auguste Dupin, on the case. The Edgar Award-winning Stashower interweaves the biographies of both Rogers and Poe with an intriguing look at the birth of the modern detective story.

The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman
The harsh and untamed island outpost of Janus Rock serves as a fitting backdrop to introduce this story of isolation and loss by first time novelist M.L. Stedman. Thomas Sherbourne has been shattered by his experience on the front lines during World War I and seeks peace and solace tending a light house on an extremely remote island off the coast of Western Australia. When a small boat washes ashore carrying a living infant alongside her dead father, Thomas and his wife Isabel see it as a miracle—the child a gift from God. Isabel has just given birth to a stillborn child. Grieving for her own infant and longing for motherhood, she and Thomas decide to raise the child as their own. When they return to the mainland after two years, events unfold that lead to a moral dilemma.
