A Great Marriage (Large Print)

Dara Willcox meets Austin Clarke at an art gallery. If love at first sight can happen, it happens to them. These two vivid, ambitious people are on different trajectories. They don’t care. They will make their lives together happen. Later, Austin hears unsettling news from London that threatens to wreck his plans. When Dara learns of the problem, she abruptly cancels the wedding. Chaos ensues as the romantic wedding plans unravel. Dara heads to California, finding solace with friends and driving the coastal highway. Austin, back in London, faces not only his culpability but a major tragedy. Is their once-great romance over? Can a great marriage still be forged?

The Coldest Case

It’s February in the Thousand Islands and, cut off from civilization, eight people are overwintering on tiny, remote Running Pine, including two newcomers: social media stars Cary and Sylvie, whose account documenting their year on the island is garnering thousands of followers. Running Pine can be perilous — especially for city slickers who’ll do anything to get the perfect shot. So when Cary doesn’t return from ice fishing, his neighbors fear the worst. With the clock ticking, a police team is dispatched . . . but Sylvie, his frantic partner, will only talk to one person: senior investigator Shana Merchant.

The Voyage Home

In this third outing in the Women of Troy series, Pat Barker follows the young Ritsa and the unpredictable Cassandra on their perilous return journey to Mycenae. Cassandra has acquired the powers of prophecy from the kiss of Apollo, but the very same god has taken away the people’s belief in her abilities. Though she warns of the carnage that awaits the Greek warrior king Agamemnon, her shipmates disregard her. While Cassandra’s prophecies fall on deaf ears, Ritsa instead remains focused on surviving once they make land. When a mysterious young girl begins to shadow them, Ritsa must find a safe place for Cassandra. But it’s the ongoing ire between Queen Clytemnestra and Agamemnon that could prove fatal for everyone.
