“Ah, how good it is to be among people who are reading.” ~ Rainer Maria Rilke

“Three Sisters” is by Heather Morris, the author of “The Tattooist of Auschwitz.” Three little girls promise their father to stay together, no matter what. Years later Livia is sent to Auschwitz and her older sister, Cibi, follows in order to protect her sister or die with her. Magda escapes capture for a time, but she too ends up in the death camp. The three sisters’ promise to survive is tested on a death march across Europe and home to Slovakia. From there they embark on a voyage to their new Jewish homeland, Israel.

Vince Flynn has written “Enemy at the Gate,” a Mitch Rapp novel. The top operative for the CIA is on a mission to find a high-level mole scouring the agency’s database for information on the world’s first trillionaire, Nicholas Ward. Rapp takes the job to protect Ward and finds himself walking a tightrope. Can he keep the man alive and also use him as bait to uncover a traitor?

“We Are Not Like Them” is by authors Christina Pride and Jo Piazza. This story is told from alternating perspectives by two women, one Black and one white. Jen and Riley have been friends since kindergarten. But this connection is severely tested when Jen’s police officer husband is involved in the shooting of an unarmed Black teenager.

“Silverview” is the last spy novel written by John le Carre before his death. Irene Hannon is the author of “Labyrinth of Lies” the second installment in the Triple Threat series. James Patterson and Candice Fox bring to readers “2 Sisters Detective Agency.”
