Too Good to Miss

Have you seen the rotating “Too Good to Miss” display in the upstairs lobby? It’s located to the right of the circulation desk and it’s a good place to find recent bestsellers, reading group titles and other high-interest books. The library’s Adult Services Department gathers and displays the recommended titles.

This week features Chicago mysteries. Look for:

Big City, Big Blood by Sean Chercover

The Bishop in the Old Neighborhood by Andrew Greeley

The Blade Itself by Marcus Sakey

Cherry Bomb by Joe Konrath

The Chicago Way by Michael Harvey

Fire Sale by Sara Paretsky

And before the snow and ice arrive check out the Mystery Writers Walking Guide: Chicago by Alzina Dale which offers 10 city walks based on mysteries set in the Windy City. Each walk begins with a brief background of the area, the length of the walk, places of interest and a map. The author then provides a block by block discussion of the area with tie-ins to mystery stories from Sara Paretsky’s Guardian Angel to Scott Turow’s Burden of Proof.

Stop by the “Too Good to Miss Shelf” on your way to the fiction, mystery and DVD collections. Or ask at the Reference Desk for more information.
