    SOMETHING MISSING
    by Matthew Dicks

    He'll steal your toothbrush...then he'll steal your heart.

    Meet Martin Railsback, a gentle thief burdened with OCD tendencies, who becomes a guardian angel to the unwilling victims of his pilfering. This delightful story is perfect for readers of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and fans of the TV show Monk.

    "This is a splendid novel, written with loving attention to character and detail." ??”Booklist, starred review

    "Dicks combines the neurotic atmosphere of a Woody Allen film with the light touch of Lawrence Block's Bernie Rhodenbarr novels...A very funny adventure about the mechanics of burglary and the fragility of an orderly life."??”Kirkus Reviews

    Offer is still valid. The free books have changed.
    Breaking Out of Bedlam
    Cora Sledge is horrified when her children, who doubt her ability to take care of herself, plot to remove her from her home. So what if her house is a shambles? Who cares when she last changed her clothes? If an eighty-two-year-old widow wants to live on junk food, pills, and cigarettes, hasn't she earned the right? When her kids force her into The Palisades, an assisted living facility, Cora takes to her bed, planning to die as soon as possible. But life isn't finished with her yet, not by a long shot.
    Prima Donna
    Opera singer Sabine Conrad is the toast of nineteenth-century New York high society. A celebrated soprano with the voice of an angel, she is showered with adulation by her audiences and courted by wealthy patrons. But behind the scenes, her every move is controlled by a Svengali-like manager, Gideon Price. When her attempt to escape him goes tragically awry, she flees, leaving behind a grisly murder.
    True Confections
    Take chocolate candy, add a family business at war with itself, and stir with an outsider's perspective. This is the recipe for True Confections, the irresistible new novel by Katharine Weber, a writer whose work has won accolades from Iris Murdoch, Madeleine L??Engle, Wally Lamb, and Kate Atkinson, to name a few.
