Lisa Gardner is the author of “Still See You Everywhere,” the latest novel featuring Frankie Elkin, an expert at finding missing persons the rest of the world has forgotten. The latest request: to locate the long-lost sister of a female serial killer facing execution in three weeks’ time. We have this selection in large print also.

A new cozy mystery is “Murder in the Tea Leaves” by Laura Childs.

“Beautiful People: My Thirteen Truths About Disability” is a nonfiction book by writer, disability activist and influencer Melissa Blake who “shares her truth about disability, writing about everything from the language we use to describe people to her own struggles with self-image and self-acceptance.”

Kristin Hannah’s newest novel is “The Women.” Twenty-one-year-old nursing student Frances “Frankie” McGrath joins the Army Nurse Corps and follows her brother’s path serving in Vietnam. Unprepared and inexperienced Frankie is overwhelmed by the chaos and destruction of war. But the real battle lies in coming home to a changed and divided America, to angry protesters and to a county that wants to forget Vietnam.

Other new titles include “Never Too Late” by Danielle Steel, “The Poisoner’s Ring,” a Rip Through Time novel by Kelley Armstrong, and “Losing Spring” by V.C. Andrews.
