Muddy the Water

Matt Barrows, Jessica Barrows Beebe

A popular fishing captain is murdered on his own trawler and everyone in Haversport, Massachusetts, knows the culprit is a young deckhand named Ben Broome, including Detective Lillian Grimes. But Ben has discovered the perfect hiding place: as a reporter writing for the tiny Coastal Packet, a newspaper in South Carolina. 
When a half-eaten body washes in it becomes the biggest story in the paper’s history and brings cunning, charismatic Ben unexpected success. But it also leads Grimes closer to the truth. She soon teams up with hungry rival reporter Florence Park to hunt Ben down before he can charm—or kill—his way to freedom. 
Shown from three perspectives, killer, detective, and reporter, Muddy the Water brings readers inside the newsroom of a struggling small newspaper on the bucolic South Carolina coast and speaks to the concept of identity—and whether anyone ever shows their true self.

The Hunter Gracchus

Franz Kafka

"The Hunter Gracchus" is a short story by Franz Kafka. The story presents a boat carrying the long-dead Hunter Gracchus as it arrives at a port. The mayor of Riva meets Gracchus, who gives him an account of his death while hunting, and explains that he is destined to wander aimlessly and eternally over the seas. An additional fragment presents an extended dialogue between Gracchus and an unnamed interviewer, presumably the same mayor.Written in the first half of 1917, the story was published posthumously in Beim Bau der Chinesischen Mauer (Berlin, 1931). The first English translation, by Willa and Edwin Muir, was published by Martin Secker in London in 1933.

Guardians of the Keep

Carl Berg

A widowed noblewoman unites with an amnesiac sorcerer prince to fight evil magic in this epic fantasy adventure by the author of Son of Avonar. The idyllic world of Avonar reels under the assaults of its ancient foes, two-thirds of its territory a wasteland, its failing magic embodied in the last weak, dissolute prince of its royal bloodline. But a brash mage has taken it upon himself to repair his liege lord’s soul. Unfortunately, the Prince of Avonar is left with no memory of himself, much less his homeland or his desperate war. Abandoned in her mundane world, waiting for news of the Prince’s recovery, Seri keeps her promise to relay her brother’s dying words to his son. But something is clearly wrong with her ten-year-old nephew. Secretive, isolated, angry, the boy shows an inordinate terror of Seri’s past connections with sorcerers. Though determined not to care for a child whose life she resents, she finds herself intrigued, and when the boy is abducted by her longtime nemesis, Seri’s frenzied pursuit plunges her straight into Avonar’s war—and horrors she could never have imagined. All are ensnared by the Lords of Zhev’Na in their plot to destroy D’Arnath's Bridge and plunge two worlds into chaos. Praise for Guardians of the Keep“The well-drawn and complex characters are the focus of the story, and they carry the plot off outstandingly. . . . If you enjoy fantasy with a dark thread, such as David Drake’s Isles Series or Raymond Feist’s Riftwar books, Carol Berg is someone you should try. If you like good characters in an exciting, unpredictable plot, this is also a series for you.” —SFRevu

The Optimist

E. M. Delafield

Once said to be one of Delafield’s oddest books yet also said to be her most thought-provoking novel. The story is largely dominated by Canon Morchard, an 'utterly impossible clergyman' whose children and lives are dominated by his wishes and manipulation. The story is largely seen through Owen’s eyes – a man who fought on the Western front for two years and returns to England to the home of his old tutor, Canon, whose life becomes based on illusions as his children protect him from anything that might upset him. Owen learns his own life lessons after Canon’s death and reverses certain judgments he previously made. 
This story follows one man's interactions with the family of an English Canon following World War I and the way the children in the family negotiate their relationships with their father, with his strong personality and religious beliefs.
