“The Ghost Orchid,” by Jonathan Kellerman (Ballantine Books)
The 39th installment of Kellerman’s No. 1 New York Times bestselling series of novels one opens with a pool boy’s discovery of the slain bodies of two people floating at a gated Bel Air estate: the wealthy homeowner and an even wealthier neighbor. There are no signs of forced entry. The mystery brings Los Angeles Police Department homicide Lt. Milo Sturgis onto the case, along with psychologist Delaware to unravel the clues and solve the mystery. “I enjoy the investigative duo of Detective Milo Sturgis and psychologist Alex Delaware, as well as all the supporting characters and look forward to each new addition. Whenever I crack open a Kellerman book, I can’t seem to put it down,” wrote SheReadBookBlog for GoodReads. “Kellerman’s descriptions are particularly picturesque and entertaining, and he always seems to put a fresh spin on cases. I think this is one of the best installments of the series.” [Fiction]“Dirt Roads to Runways: Defending the American Dream for the Next Generation,” by Keith Gross (Big Red Publishing)
