HISS AND HERS
BEATON, M.C.
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
Celebrating the twentieth anniversary of everyone's favorite sleuth, M. C. Beaton's Agatha Raisin is as feisty as
ever, armed with her famous wit and biting sense of humor. This time, though, there's some biting of a whole
other sort going on. Agatha has fallen head over heels in love again. This time, she has her eye on the local
gardener, George Marston, but so do other women in their little Cotswold village. Shamelessly determined,
Agatha will do anything to get her man?including footing the bill for a charity ball just for the chance to dance
with him. And then George doesn't even show up. Only partly deterred, Agatha goes looking for him, and finds
his dead body in a compost heap ...

THE HISTORY ROOM
GRAHAM, ELIZA
After her soldier husband is seriously injured and her marriage begins to fall apart, Meredith Cordingley returns
to teach at Letchford, the grand Cotswold private school run by her father, who outwardly appears to be a
typically English headmaster. The setting provides Meredith with a tranquil refuge from her own heartache until
one September afternoon, when a shocking discovery is made in the history room. The police are called, but all
is not what it seems. Meredith is determined to discover the culprit and becomes convinced that a manipulative
member of staff is controlling the sinister goings-on at her beloved Letchford, and exerting a calculating influence
on a vulnerable and troubled young student, but on her journey to untangle the truth Meredith risks her father's
reputation, as well as her own.

THE HIVE
BURNS, CHARLES
Much has happened since we last saw Doug, the Tintin-like hero from X'ed Out. Confessing his past to an
unidentified woman, Doug struggles to recall the mysterious incident that left his life shattered, an incident that
may have involved his disturbed and now-absent girlfriend, Sarah, and her menacing ex-boyfriend. Doug warily
seeks answers in a nightmarish alternate world that is a distorted mirror of our own, where he is a lowly
employee that carts supplies around the Hive. The second part of Charles Burns's riveting trilogy, this graphic
narrative will delight and surpass the expectations of his fans.
