We Solve Murders by Richard Osman is the top holds title of the week. LibraryReads and Library Journal offer read-alikes for patrons waiting to read this buzziest book.
'The Grey Wolf' by Louise Penny | Mystery Pick of the Month
Penny’s follow-up to A World of Curiosities plays on readers’ fears as she launches a new story arc that is completed in this installment but presents a cliffhanger. It’s a frightening novel of duality, of good versus evil, with an allegorical tale for today’s world, as only Penny can write.

Christmas at Glitter Peak Lodge
Although the mystery (Johnsen’s first to be published in English) is slight, the atmospheric Hallmark-style book is set up as if it were an Advent calendar: 24 chapters, one for each day in December leading up to Christmas. The multiple storylines offer a little for everyone: mountain climbing, village secrets, romance, bullying. The Norwegian customs and recipes are an extra treat.

The Arizona Triangle
This desert noir features complex characters trapped in an ugly, emotional past. The vivid details and beauty of the Arizona landscape are in sharp contrast to the repellent secrets of a killer.

Murder in the Ranks
The characters need further development in this debut, but Jones excels at the vivid descriptions of Algiers during World War II. Readers interested in the roles of women and an atmospheric story set in a less-discussed theater of war will be fascinated by the details.

We Solve Murders
Given the big-screen plans for The Thursday Murder Club, Osman’s new novel will be in high demand. Although it starts a little slowly, this humorous caper quickly picks up speed, and readers will root for the trio. The humor and characters are reminiscent of Deanna Raybourn’s hit Killers of a Certain Age.
