Winter/Holiday Book Recommendations

Winter: Holidays, too much food, family and friends, snow (depends on where you live!) fallen leaves to crunch under your feet, and most important — Christmas and winter holiday books! Those really warm fuzzy stories of families who get along…or don’t and murder each other. 😁 🎄 We’re not talking real life (I hope!) We’re talking fiction, book recommendations from your faithful reviewer and Poisoned Pen Bookstore bookseller, John Charles, oh he who gets early copies and reads them to help you make your choices, and your stalwart bestselling and seldom-murderous authors, Jayne Ann Krentz and Christina Dodd. You can watch live on Monday, November 18 at 1pm PT RIGHT HERE!

So with no further ado, here are your 2024 Winter Book Recommendations! All links go the Poisoned Pen Bookstore where they have many of the books autographed. They ship both in the U.S. and internationally, and you can find a number of my signed books in store and online. 😉 Think Christmas gift books!

Shattering Dawn by Jayne Ann Krentzhttps://store.poisonedpen.com/item/zb7C99cVE0xll2rvNP9NMg

On Sunday, Jan. 12 at 2pm at the Poisoned Pen, Jayne is autographing her next Romantic Suspense, SHATTERING DAWN. A Jayne Ann Krentz book event is always a hot ticket, and remember, even if you can’t be there in person, SHATTERING DAWN will be a great, personalized book gift for someone in your life. Think of that special person in your life who loves to read bestselling romantic suspense and reserve an autographed copy now! Bonus points if it’s for you.

Jayne has assured me that no goldfish were harmed in the writing of this novel.…I don’t know what she means, either, but as soon as I read it, I’m sure all will be clear.
