Week of March 29, 2021

Paperback releases for the week of March 29th include the worldwide sensation WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING by Delia Owens, which is at once an exquisite ode to the natural world, a heartbreaking coming-of-age story, and a surprising tale of possible murder; MASKED PREY, the 30th installment in John Sandford's series featuring Lucas Davenport, who is on the trail of a prolific serial killer who has been operating for years without notice, and whose quarry is ruthless and --- as Davenport will come to find --- full of surprises; REDHEAD BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD by Anne Tyler, an intimate look into the heart and mind of a man who finds those around him just out of reach; and I WANT YOU TO KNOW WE’RE STILL HERE, a poignant and deeply moving memoir by Esther Safran Foer, who found out that her father had a previous wife and daughter --- both of whom were killed in the Holocaust --- and resolved to find out who they were, and how her father survived.
