Exiles: Aaron Falk Mystery #3
by Jane Harper
"The little things you could have done differently, that was the stuff that haunted you." (9/6/2022)
Aaron Falk, federal investigator, is back in Jane Harper's newest book Exiles and what a thrilling read. It starts with a tragedy and then a year later the reader is brought back to the exact same location to once again figure out what a close knit group of friends saw and what they might have missed. How do these childhood bonds impact their past, but also their adult lives? Harper allows the story to unfold at a pace that meanders like the Southern Australian bush land. However, the intensity increases with each turn of the page just like the dangers that can be found in this unpredictable landscape. Hold on for a thrilling and unexpected conclusion!
Metropolis: A Novel
by B. A. Shapiro
Life Storage (4/12/2022)
According to Sparefoot, the US boasts more than 50,000 self-storage facilities. Metropolis by B.A. Shapiro gives you a whole new perspective of what might be going on inside these units where we castoff a portion of our lives. There are just "so many mysteries inside a building he'd always considered lifeless."

In Metropolis, you meet six unforgettable individuals whose lives become entangled after an accident occurs. Yet the real question - was it really an accident?! You will meet Zach the owner of the facility. Who happens to be an ex-drug dealer. Rose who is Zach's Office manager. Rose allows you to do all kinds of things with your unit if you pay her a little extra in cash and on the side. You have an immigrant, a lawyer, and an abused Mom all who are hiding big secrets in their storage space. Finally, you have Serge who gives the reader a special glimpse of these secrets through his photographs.

Metropolis is a mystery you won't want to put down! It will also have you thinking about every storage facility you drive by and what hidden secrets might just be inside.
