A big thank you to Julie at Knitting and Sundries for hosting Mailbox Monday during November 2010. It’s a meme that’s known to greatly increase the TBR piles in reader’s homes so be careful!
I received an ARC of Dog’s Don’t Lie by Clea Simon via NetGalley from Poisoned Pen Press.
Pru Marlowe isn’t your ordinary animal psychic. A tough girl on the run from her own gift, Pru left the big city to return to her picturesque Berkshires hometown looking for a little peace. Too bad that her training as an animal behaviorist got her mixed up with Lily-a rescue dog-and Charles-Lily’s person. Now Charles is dead, and Lily looks good for it. After all, Lily is a pitbull, a fighting ring dropout, and way too traumatized to give Pru a clear picture of what she has witnessed. But Pru knows something about bad girls trying to clean up, and, with a sense of justice strong enough to overcome her dislike of human society, she takes the case. Listening to the animals, Pru picks up clues-and learns there are secrets in the pretty little town that make murder look simple. Unable to tell anybody about her psychic abilities, uncertain at times about her own sanity, Pru comes to realize that if she clears Lily, she’ll likely become the prime suspect-or the next victim. While the only creature she can totally trust is her crotchety tabby Wallis, Pru’s got to uncover the real killer-and find a way to live with her gift-before the real beasts in the town savage her and those she has come to love. The first in the Pru Marlowe “pet noir” series.
The second ARC I received was the EOS Reader 2010 with various authors via NetGalley from HarperCollins. HarperCollins shares 25 excerpts from this season’s best supernatural thrillers, paranormal romance, epic fantasy, and action-packed SF!
What arrived in your mailbox this week?
I love NetGalley! Enjoy your reading this week
I’ve only received one arc copy and I loved it! Dogs don’t lie sounds really good. I can’t wait to hear what you think! I had one book in my mail this week, and MG and it was fun http://blog.juliealindsey.com/
I hope you enjoy both of your new books – they both look great!
Happy reading! My mailbox is at The Crowded Leaf.
So glad you’re taking a chance on my “Dogs Don’t Lie.” It’s a new series and close to my heart. I hope you enjoy it – and want to hear what you think once you’ve read it!
Thanks for reading.
Clea

The EOS Reader is quite interesting. I have never heard of it before. It’s a neat idea.
