 | If Ever I Would Leave You by Mary Higgins Clark
America's Queen of Suspense delivers a genuine nail biter featuring Nell MacDermott, a young congressional hopeful with psychic powers, and her husband, Adam Cauliff, a successful architect. Adam, along with a few of his closest business associates, dies when his luxurious cabin cruiser explodes in New York harbor. Nell is obviously devastated. But her grief is compounded by the fact that she and Adam had a heated argument shortly before his death. Desperate to to make amends, Nell follows the advice of her psychic aunt, who has suggested she visit a medium through whom she can communicate with Adam. In the meantime, however, a police investigation has determined that the boat's explosion was not a tragic accident but a result of foul play. With Adam's help, Nell begins her own search for the truth behind his death. And with any luck, she will find the killer before her husband's fate becomes her own. AUTHOR: Mary Higgins Clark

 | The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver, Robertson
In 1959, a missionary named Nathan Price transports his wife and four daughters to a remote village in the Belgian Congo to convert the natives. The family is met with hostility from the locals, particularly a vengeful witch doctor. They also face bands of desperate rebels, dangerous wildlife, and the inevitable petty inconveniences a hyper-conventional Midwestern family might expect to face in an alien land. After tragedy strikes, the family leaves the Congo and Kingsolver details the subsequent fates of each of the female members, each narrating in her own distinctive voice. Besides being a vivid novel about family and a tour de force of characterization, THE POISONWOOD BIBLE is also a vehicle for Kingsolver's ideas about the Congo's disastrous history and America's role in it.
