Blue Ribbon Book Stop

New York Times bestselling author Luanne Rice is a staff pick for spring reading. No relation to Anne Rice, Luanne Rice artfully blends romance and suspense into spellbinding page turners.

Many of her books are available in the fiction section of the library including Light of the Moon. In this lyrical novel, an accomplished anthropologist travels to the fabled French Camarge to see its famous white horses and investigate her family's history. Here she falls for a horse rancher and is taken into the confidence of by a group of gypsy women as she unearths secrets in the fog-shrouded landscape.

Check the library catalog for the new feature "Similar Books," which provides links to other books by the same author and other authors who are similar in style. One such recommendation is The Secret Between Us by Barbara Delinsky, another bestselling author. Family dynamics blend seemlessly with elements of romance and suspence in this story of a mother who covers up for her daughter in a car accident by claiming to be the driver.

Both Rice and Delinsky are blue ribbon authors in this popular genre of women's fiction. For other similar authors, check with a reference librarian.
