Down-List Bestsellers, TooThe 19th Wife blends character-driven fiction (BeckyLyn and Jordan Scott) with the history of Ann Eliza Young, the real-life 19th wife of Mormon leader Brigham Young. The book is an outstanding read --filled with well-drawn characters and a murder-suspense plot; both made great by David Ebershoff's tight writing.
Eric Van Lustbader's First Daughter is a good choice for fans of political thrillers. In short, ATF agent Jack McClure leads the search for the president elect's kidnapped daughter. The plot does skip the tracks in a few places but leaves little doubt as to why Lustbader has successfully taken over the late Robert Ludlum's "Bourne" franchise.
