Okay, all you Veronica Mars fans. You've had years to grieve the end of Veronica Mars, the TV series, but now you no longer have to. Now, if you cast your vote for The Thousand-Dollar Tan Line, you can enjoy Veronica Mars, the book series.

For fans of Mario Puzzo book and movies of the God Father series. The Prince is based on the true story of a Sicilian mobster that moves to New York. This was first published in Italian and translated in English.
I voted, First Night of Summer...I saw this author's interview on TV and was very impressed with his purpose of raising an awareness of domestic issues through fiction. :)

I voted for The Girl On the Train by Paula Hawkins.

This one is incredibly difficult. Ken Follett's is one of my favorite thriller classics that is full of suspense and has a strong female lead (for the time). The Girl On the Train is a terrific modern read with a hint of Gone Girl (although I haven't read that) and I enjoyed the premise and the complex characters. Ruth Rendell's, given her recent death and that I've never read any of her books, is probably where I'll vote. The Veronica Mars, since I write YA crime fiction, should be a given. (We don't normally do YA, and I assume this is.) Baldacci is a personal favorite and I'm reading it already, but I have the time at the moment to explore something new. it has good strong new characters and is a nice police drama, and always satisfying.But these days I read to learn and become a better writer. Help me decide where to vote? I am at a loss...
And then I think I accidentally voted for Eco because I thought it would get me to the book for more info. I believe I have voted. Dang.

You can change your vote, M.
River of Darkness sounds terrific to me.
