Book cover of The Night We Lost Him by Laura Dave featuring an aerial view of ocean waves along a sandy beach, a wooden stairway descending toward the shore, and large handwritten-style white title text. The image uses deep blue and teal tones to create a moody coastal atmosphere.

"The Night We Lost Him" by Laura Dave

"Liame Noone was many things to many people. To the public, he was an exacting, self-made hotel magnate fleeing his past. To his three ex-wives, he was a loving albeit distant family man who kept his finances flush and his families carefully separated. To Nora, he was a father who often loved her from afar—notably, a cliffside cottage perched on the California coast where he fell to his death. The authorities rule the death accidental, but Nora and her estranged brother Sam have other ideas. As Nora and Sam form an uneasy alliance to unravel the mystery, they start putting together the pieces of their father’s past and uncover a family secret that changes everything." - NoveList Plus.

Book cover of The Plot by Jean Hanff Korelitz featuring a white book against a pale blue background, with the title cut into the cover to reveal an image of earth and sky beneath. The design creates the illusion of a deep trench or opening, emphasizing the novel's mystery theme.

"The Plot" by Jean Hanff Korelitz

"Wildly successful author Jacob Finch Bonner, who had stolen the plot of his book from a late student, fights to hide the truth from his fans and publishers, while trying to figure out who wants to destroy him." - NoveList Plus.
