Marriage Can be Murder by Emma Jameson

This is part Agatha-Christie-like and part modern mystery, with a wonderful quirky romance to boot. It takes place in the Cornish countryside, pre world war II.

Haven't read this one, I love her Lord and Lady Hetheridge series!

As a fan of Scooby-Doo, I'd like to nominate this one:

Meddling Kids by Edgar Cantero

Description:

For fans of John Dies at the End and Welcome to Night Vale comes a tour de force of horror, humor, and H.P. Lovecraft. The surviving members of a forgotten teenage detective club (and their dog) must reunite as broken adults to finally solve the terrifying case that ruined them all and sent the wrong man to prison. Scooby Doo and the gang never had to do this!

Kirsten **Be A Dragon ** I never read the book called behind closed doors

I noticed that the book description says it's a cozy mystery. Don't think we've had one of these nominated since I've been here. It does look like a book I'd like to read, being an Anglophile.

how about

Susan, that's the 4th book in the Kovac and Liska series.

sorry

It's book #1 so it qualifies.

This is the final day for Sept. BOM nominations! :)

This is a great list!

Bring Her Home by David Bell


Description
"Bell imagines a suburban world where no one really knows what's happening behind all those drawn blinds. In Bell's take, though, even the people inside don't really know what's happening. That's where his brilliance, and the brilliance of Bring Her Home, rests."--Providence Journal

In the breathtaking new thriller from David Bell, bestselling author of Since She Went Away and Somebody I Used to Know, the fate of two missing teenage girls becomes a father's worst nightmare....

Just a year and a half after the tragic death of his wife, Bill Price's fifteen-year-old daughter, Summer, and her best friend, Haley, disappear. Days later, the girls are found in a city park. Haley is dead at the scene, while Summer is left beaten beyond recognition and clinging to life.

As Bill holds vigil over Summer's bandaged body, the only sound the unconscious girl can make is one cryptic and chilling word: No. And the more time Bill spends with Summer, the more he wonders what happened to her. Or if the injured girl in the hospital bed is really his daughter at all.

When troubling new questions about Summer's life surface, Bill is not prepared for the aftershocks. He'll soon discover that both the living and the dead have secrets. And that searching for the truth will tear open old wounds that pierce straight to the heart of his family...

Our September Book of the Month poll is open. We have some great choices this month! You can cast your vote at Sept. Poll. The poll will remain open through August 29.
