Thrillers and mysteries are standard fare these days, but what if it's something that shakes up the everyday? These two titles should do that very thing.
Texas Ranger, by James Patterson and Andrew Bourelle. Patterson teams up with New Mexico author Bourelle in this first stab at a western thriller. Rory Yates started out as a mere local highway patrolman, but his discipline and skills have brought him through the ranks to Texas Ranger. He arrives in his hometown to a gruesome crime scene and a brutal accusation--that he's responsible for the grisly murder of his ex-wife, Anne, a school teacher whose most outlandish action had been to divorce her Ranger husband. Determined to prove his innocence and catch the real killer, Yates finds himself embroiled in a case that would shock even the most hardened of law enforcement officers. Also available in Large Print.
The Mystery of Three Quarters, by Sophie Hannah. Hannah's new Agatha Christie estate novel featuring Hercule Poirot (following 2016's Closed Casket) joins Poirot coming home after luncheon to find Sylvia Rule on his doorstep, angry and ready to berate him. It seems, unbeknownst to him, that he's being credited with accusing Rule of murdering a man named Barnabas Pandy. He's said no such thing, and neither of them knew a man named Pandy, and the furious encounter ends in a stalemate. But upon entering his house, he finds a second stranger who is also accused of Pandy's murder, also supposedly by Poirot. And now Poirot has no choice but to investigate... Also available in Large Print.
