A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer\, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable areas. One evening her husband Gabriel returns home late from a fashion shoot\, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face\, and then never speaks another word. \n\n\n\nAlicia’s refusal to talk\, or give any kind of explanation\, turns a domestic tragedy into something far grander\, a mystery that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety. The price of her art skyrockets\, and she\, the silent patient\, is hidden away from the tabloids and spotlight at the Grove\, a secure forensic unit in North London. \n\n\n\nTheo Faber is a criminal psychotherapist who has waited a long time for the opportunity to work with Alicia. His determination to get her to talk and unravel the mystery of why she shot her husband takes him down a twisting path into his own motivations—a search for the truth that threatens to consume him…. \n\n\n\nThis is a great opportunity to share your thoughts and connect with fellow book lovers.

If you haven’t already\, please complete the form and be sure to purchase your copy at Scholar & Scribe to read beforehand…and get 10% off when you do! \n\n\n\nSometimes love shows up where you least expect it—right next door. \n\n\n\nAt twenty-six\, Sam Pulaski expected to be thriving in her academic career\, living on her own in some exciting city. Expectations meet reality: She has massive student loan debt from studying art history\, a dead-end service industry job\, a situationship that’s equal parts intoxicating and toxic. And she’s been crashing in her mom’s condo—at least it’s not a basement?—for the last five years. If she can finally get accepted into a PhD program and get out of Ohio\, the adult life that’s been on hold for half her twenties will finally begin. \n\n\n\nHer mom’s new neighbor\, Nick\, is the ultimate grown-up. His adult life began the moment his nine-year-old daughter\, Kira\, was born. Her happiness is Nick’s only priority\, especially in the wake of divorce. There’s nothing he won’t do for Kira\, including giving up his globe-trotting career for something more stable . . . like managing a chain restaurant. \n\n\n\nSam has zero interest in an ultra-dependable guy pushing forty; frankly\, she’s a little afraid of kids. But with just one thin wall separating the two condos\, Nick proves difficult to avoid. His quiet confidence forces Sam to grapple with the other men in her life: her emotionally derelict friendwithbenefits and her actually derelict father. As her unexpected connection with Nick heats up (and steams up his minivan windows)\, Sam finds herself falling fast for a man whose life is steady and settled—while hers is anything but. \n\n\n\nThis is a great opportunity to share your thoughts and connect with fellow book lovers.

Zorah Sharaf brought shame upon her family. What’s the truth? Depends on who you ask. \n\n\n\nThe Sharaf family is the picture of success. Prosperous\, rich\, happy. They came to this country as refugees with nothing more than the clothes on their backs. And now\, after years of hard work\, they live in the most exclusive neighborhood\, their growing family attending the most prestigious schools. Zorah\, the eldest daughter\, is the apple of her father’s eye. \n\n\n\nWhen an unthinkable tragedy strikes\, everyone is left reeling and the family is thrust into the court of public opinion. There is talk that behind closed doors the Sharafs’ happy household was anything but. Did the Sharaf family achieve the American dream? Or was the image of the model immigrant family just a façade? \n\n\n\nLike a literary game of ping-pong\, Good People compels the reader to reconsider what might have happened even on the previous page. Told through a kaleidoscope of perspectives\, it is a riveting\, provocative\, and haunting story of family—sisters\, brothers\, mothers\, fathers\, and the communities that claim us as family in difficult times. \n\n\n\nThis is a great opportunity to share your thoughts and connect with fellow book lovers.

The proud grandfather and longtime martial artist continues to engage audiences with stories that explore mystery\, heritage\, and cultural legacy. \n\n\n\nAbout the Book\n\n\n\n It has long been rumored that Abraham Lincoln\, over the latter years of his life\, shared a mysterious friendship with an eccentric Black mystic. Weaving history with lore\, Mirroring Lincoln: The Cursed Existence of Paschal Beverly Randolph is the untold story of this shadowy real-life figure\, a man revered as a clairvoyant genius in his time yet lost to the whims of history. Lauded by Lincoln successor\, President Andrew Johnson\, for his “very rare and unusual attainments as a scholar and orator\,” Randolph was celebrated for his metaphysical gifts in a tumultuous era where war and enslavement juxtaposed with séance and mirror-gazing. Mirroring Lincoln: The Cursed Existence of Paschal Beverly Randolph captures the enigmatic life of Randolph\, his murky parallels with America’s most beloved president\, and the reputed curse that hounded him until his mysterious death in 1875.

Margot Davies was six at the time\, the same age as January—and they were next-door neighbors. In the twenty years since\, Margot has grown up\, moved away\, and become a big-city journalist. But she’s always been haunted by the feeling that it could’ve been her. And the worst part is\, January’s killer has never been brought to justice. \n\n\n\nWhen Margot returns home to help care for her uncle after he is diagnosed with early-onset dementia\, she feels like she’s walked into a time capsule.

With all the old feelings rushing back\, Margot vows to find Natalie and to solve January’s murder once and for all. \n\n\n\nBut the police\, Natalie’s family\, the townspeople—they all seem to be hiding something. And the deeper Margot digs into Natalie’s disappearance\, the more resistance she encounters\, and the colder January’s case feels. Could January’s killer still be out there? Is it the same person who took Natalie? And what will it cost to finally discover what truly happened that night twenty years ago? \n\n\n\nTwisty\, chilling\, and intense\, All Good People Here is a searing tale that asks: What are your neighbors capable of when they think no one is watching? \n\n\n\nThis is a great opportunity to share your thoughts and connect with fellow book lovers.

Yet he toils willingly\, trusting that his blood and sweat will one day result in a better world for his children. \n\n\n\nBut Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. Soon he discovers that humanity reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and lush wilds spread across the planet. Darrow—and Reds like him—are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class. \n\n\n\nInspired by a longing for justice\, and driven by the memory of lost love\, Darrow sacrifices everything to infiltrate the legendary Institute\, a proving ground for the dominant Gold caste\, where the next generation of humanity’s overlords struggle for power. He will be forced to compete for his life and the very future of civilization against the best and most brutal of Society’s ruling class. There\, he will stop at nothing to bring down his enemies . . . even if it means he has to become one of them to do so. \n\n\n\nThis is a great opportunity to share your thoughts and connect with fellow book lovers.
