Still Life by Louise Penny

Welcome to Three Pines, a picturesque Quebecois village so small it’s not even on a map. Life here is peaceful and quaint until long-time village resident, Jane Neal, is found dead in the woods. It must surely have been a hunting accident, but Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Surêté du Québec seems to think otherwise. Award-winning author Louise Penny is a master of description, bringing you deep into the lives of the unique Three Pines residents and writing the village as if it were a character itself—all the way down to the food served at the local café. You’ll swear you can taste the creamy café au laits and buttery croissants!

Dead until Dark by Charlaine Harris

Sookie Stackhouse is a twenty-something waitress just trying to make a living in small-town Bon Temps, Louisiana. But Sookie’s always been a little different: She can hear a person’s every thought—good, bad, and ugly. Add to that Sookie’s fascination with the recently revealed vampire community and the horrifying murder of her coworker and the stage is set for an addictive mix of romance, mystery and supernatural characters. Are you one of the millions watching True Blood? Maybe you haven’t seen it but you’re dying to know what everyone is buzzing about. Pick up this first installment of the book series that started it all!
