Love You More by Lisa Gardner
One question, a split-second decision, and Brian Darby lies dead on the kitchen floor. His wife, a police officer, says she shot him in self-defence, and the bruises would seem to back up her story. But where is the couple’s six-year-old daughter Sophie? Homicide investigator D.D. Warren struggles to work through a warren of family secrets and lies, while also facing the blue wall of police silence, in order to get to the truth. Meanwhile, the mother of the missing child faces her most terrifying deadline yet. She has one goal in sight, and will have to use every ounce of her training to do what must be done.

Mary Ann in Autumn by Armistead Maupin
Fans of Armistead Maupin’s Tales in the City series which span nearly 30 years will be delighted to hear that the whole Barbary Lane crew - Mary Ann, Michael Tolliver, Anna Madrigal & co – are back, livelier than ever. It’s been twenty years since Mary Ann left her family in San Francisco to pursue a television career in New York City, but now she’s back in the Bay Area to lick her wounds and take a long, hard look at where life has taken her. Of course it doesn’t take long for her somewhat chequered past to start catching up on her, and with a larger than life cast of characters and a back story that spans three decades, this is an entertaining read. Maupin dedicates this, the eighth novel in the Tales series, to actress Laura Linney, who starred in the TV mini-series made from the first three novels.
