My Pick of the Week!


Ghostwalk by Rebecca Stott is an intelligent literary thriller that moves flawlessly between past and present. Cambridge historian, Elizabeth Vogelsang, is found dead and leaves behind her unfinished biography of Isaac Newton that delves into his infatuation with alchemy. Lydia Brooke is asked by Elizabeth's son to finish the book but as she delves into it she begins to find herself involved in a convoluted mystery based on Newton's life. This is a fabulous debut novel that combines elements of a mystery, ghost story, love story, historical, and thriller that will keep readers enthralled to the last page.
