ANGELS FALL by Nora Roberts (Putnam)

Nora Roberts is one of the biggest selling authors in the world, and her latest blockbuster shows why. A woman with a mysterious past shows up in the town of Angels Fall, and soon gets involved with a local, brooding writer. She also becomes the only witness to a murder, but there's no body, and no one believes her. A captivating blend of romance, suspense and mystery.

THE WHISTLING SEASON by Ivan Doig (Harcourt)

In their starred review, Booklist called this tale by National Book Award finalist Doig an entrancing new chapter in the literature of the West. Set in Montana in the early 1900s, it's the charming story of a year in the life of one family and the old one-room schoolhouse that embodies the hopes and dreams of an entire town.

CONSIGNED TO DEATH by Jane K. Cleland (St. Martin's Press)

Exciting New Author Cleland's first novel, which has already garnered praise from the critics, introduces Josie Prescott, an antiques dealer turned sleuth when a potential client is found stabbed to death. An engaging mix of Antiques Roadshow, potential romance (with a hunky chief of police), and just a touch of murder.

Best-selling author Nance is back with a book that will have readers on the edge of their seats while simultaneously tugging at their heartstrings. An amateur astronaut is stranded alone in orbit, with no radio, and no hope. His only connection to home is a one-way computer link that makes him the most famous person alive...for now.
