November Online Book Club: The Dutch House by Ann Patchett
At its core, this book is about a brother and sister who cannot overcome their past wounds. I totally recommend you choose the audiobook version of The Dutch House.
October Online Book Club: Maids of Misfortune by M. Louisa Locke
Imagine an Agatha Christie-Sherlock Holmes style mystery set in 1880’s San Francisco instead of England. Throw in daring undercover sleuthing and a dash of romance. What you’d get is Maids of Misfortune.
September Online Book Club: Hello, Summer by Mary Kay Andrews
Yes, I know it’s after Labor Day. Summer is officially over. Don’t let anyone tell you when to read a seasonal book. We read to escape and entertain, right? Sarah Conley Hawkins’ story about returning home after a long absence was a good summer mystery/ beach romance.

I’m new to this author and series, but love anything set in Hawai’i. A Damsel for Santa did not disappoint.
