Reading for those who like the edge of their seats: Brad Meltzer’s legal thriller The First Counsel, and Deadly Decisions by Kathy Reichs featuring recurring character Temperance Brennan, a forensic anthropologist, both very nice anonymous gifts found in the bookdrop. For a thriller of a different nature, we’ve just catalogued The Great Influenza: the Epic Story of the Deadliest Plague in History by John M. Barry, a timely and chilling examination of 1918’s pandemic.
