by Donna AndrewsBells are ringing and alarms are sounding in Donna Andrews' latest cheery addition in the New York Times bestselling Meg Langslow series.Meg's sister-in-law, Delaney, is pregnant. Since her due date is on or around Christmas Day, this is putting a bit of a damper on the usual holiday festivities. Meg and Michael are NOT hosting the usual house full of relatives and parties.

Rockinghorse
by William W. JohnstoneIt came in the dead of night--a rhythmic creaking sound that only the children could hear. Jackie and Johnny tried not to listen. But it called to them, whispering of evil, luring them into the darkness of the attic. With its brightly colored saddle and painted-on eyes, it was the most beautiful rocking horse Jackie and Johnny had ever seen. But as they took turns riding it, they didn't see its tail twitch or its lips curve into a terrifying grin. They couldn't hear the faint whicker that echoed among the shadows. They couldn't know that their own innocent eyes had taken on a strange new gleam . . .
Rocks Beat Paper (A Wilson Mystery #6)
by Mike KnowlesIn this &“highly entertaining&” heist thriller, there is no honor among jewel thieves (The Toronto Star). A phone call brought Wilson and nine other men to a job in New York. At first, he couldn&’t see a way to make the heist work, but the score—millions of dollars in diamonds—motivated him to try. Wilson came up with a plan he knew would work . . . until the inside man got killed and took the job with him. With no way inside, the crew walks away without the diamonds. Now, on his own, Wilson is free to execute the job his way. He sets a con in motion that should run as predictably as a trail of dominoes—except the con doesn&’t rely on inanimate tiles, it relies on people. And when Wilson pushes all the pieces across the board, he finds that there are other players making their own moves against him. No one is willing to walk away because the job is about more than money. The job is about diamonds. And in this game, rocks beat paper every time. &“Wilson is a captivating character: cold, merciless, magnetic, and honest about the world he willingly inhabits . . . Combining the intense grit of Richard Stark&’s Parker series with the amorality of Jim Thompson&’s work, Knowles once again delivers a heady brew of tough-guy dialogue, byzantine plots, [and] vibrant characters.&” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
