7 Great Beach Reads this Summer

A Case of Greed by Don L. McCarty –
In this murder mystery, the past and present collide with ethical ironies as a secret is unveiled and a tenacious attorney attempts to piece together a conspiracy in time to save its innocent victims from a bleak destiny.

A Forbidden Boundary by Shauna Springs –
The year is 1902 and wealthy free-spirited, and somewhat lonely Mary Anne Winters longs for questions to the world around her. That June her father hires a new manservant named Edward Bailey. While he’s at first nervous in his new environment with Mary Anne’s kindness he opens up and they develop a fast friendship which eventually blossoms into more. Mary Anne and Edward sneak around to be together, both longing to be officially together. Later on disaster and illness both befall Mary Anne and Edward, but the question remains; will these two be ill-fated, or will they wind up together?

A Dark Hole by Charlotte Pritchard –
In this suspenseful thriller, a psychologist must desperately attempt to solve a complex mystery as the life of his young, fragile patient hangs in the balance and evil lurks in the shadows.

7 Great Beach Reads this Summer

Ordinary Evil by Gene Ferraro –
When a series of international and seemingly unrelated events lead to the brutal murder of a Catholic altar boy, conflicting notions of the law, obedience, forgiveness and revenge test the faith of several Roman Catholic priests and two Catholic women. With the boy’s death comes scandal and pain for more than just the family who lost a son. In the aftermath of the horrific crime and with the revelation of sexual abuse in the church, ordinary people must now confront ordinary authority, uncovering a web of deceit that stretches from the towns and cities of New England all the way to the Vatican. Even the law cannot reveal all things. In the end, despite the terrible acts committed in his name, only God will ever know the truth.

Burning the Short White Coat by Eve Shvidler, M.D. –
What happens when Sex and the City meets Grey’s Anatomy? Burning the Short White Coat is a coming-of-age novel that explores the personal struggle a single woman must face when balancing a demanding career in medicine with the desire to find a trusting and loving relationship.

When the Heart Decides by George Gyude Wisner II –
When Sarah Lawson’s father is rescued from the claws of death by David Saye, a notorious rebel commander, she believes it is simply a miraculous coincidence. It isn’t long, however, before Sarah realises that behind this extraordinary intervention is David’s wish to lure her into his arms. He is handsome, educated, and generous-all qualities that ignite the fires of her heart. But they are from very different worlds. Sarah is the daughter of a respectable middle-class family, while David has been accused of gruesome atrocities. As the heat of the Liberian civil war casts waves over them all, Sarah faces a three-front battle of her own. Despite her feelings, she must contain David’s advances, preserve her family’s integrity, and prevent her heart from betraying her.

Schicksal by Merima Jackson –
In this historical novel based on true events, a Serbian soldier and a German nurse test the resilience of the human spirit, love, forgiveness, and hope for the future as World War II ravages Europe.
