Other Indie FavoritesLoyalty: A Novel, by Ingrid Thoft (Putnam, $25.95) “Flunking out of law school was probably the best thing to happen to Fina Ludlow. The most interesting work at her family’s law firm was not done by their lawyers, but by their lead investigator, Frank Gillis. Fina learns her trade from Frank and takes over when he leaves the firm. Private investigation is an ideal fit for Fina, and her talents at both discretion and deception, as well as her skill with a lock pick, get her through a lot of doors. Fina’s family loyalty is strong, but when her sister-in-law goes missing and her niece locks her bedroom door at night, Fina has to decide between loyalty to family and the truth. A brilliant start to a gripping new series.” —Karen Briggs, Great Northern Books & Hobbies, Oscoda, MI

The Resurrectionist: A Novel, by Matthew Guinn (W.W. Norton, $25.95) “In the mid-19th century, Nemo Johnston is sold to the fledging South Carolina Medical College, where he will act as janitor, butler, and grave-robber. After all, medical students do need to work on human cadavers. A century and a half later, when construction workers unearth hundreds of bones of African-American slaves in the cellar of one of the school’s original buildings, the administration wants to avoid media coverage at all costs. As he investigates the college’s past and his own family history, Dr. Jacob Thacker is forced to decide between his own future and the future of the school.” —Jennifer Gwydir, Blue Willow Bookshop, Houston, TX

Another Indie FavoriteImperfect Harmony: Finding Happiness Singing With Others, by Stacy Horn (Algonquin, $15.95) “Listening to choral music has always been moving for me, but I never realized the profound emotions felt by the chorus members. In this delightful, charmingly self-effacing memoir, Horn explains how singing with the Choral Society of New York’s Grace Church has been life-affirming, and even life-saving. Drawing on the reflections of other singers, composers of choral music, and scientific evidence, as well as her own experience, Horn beautifully puts into words the joy of singing in harmony with others. Any lover of choral music will love this book!” —Samantha Flynn, Quail Ridge Books & Music, Raleigh, NC
