To know me is to know that I will read almost every book we get in the store about the Kennedy family, and this one is no exception! Meticulously researched and written by an editor at Rolling Stone; we learn about the Kennedys' one-hundred years in Hyannis Port and the events we know so well, as told through the lens of “The Compound”. Intimate, personal and so well done, I particularly enjoyed learning about all their neighbors and friends in the neighborhood. Don’t miss it!

This tender, touching memoir shares the story of Bill Eville as a New York City businessman turned stay-at-home father, who moves with his family to Martha’s Vineyard. His accounts of fatherhood, his new life, a newspaper editor, and his wife’s work as a pastor on the island provides a heartwarming and poignant read.

A look into the life of a serial killer

that will remind you to always be aware of your surroundings! A crazy thriller about a serial killer, his secret captive, his daughter, and his next mark. It’s a real page turner that left me a little unsettled. If this is your thing, don’t miss it.

Fans of RGB will love SOB. This fast paced autobiography style novel tells the story of an 83 year old supreme court justice revealing her complex life, ambition, sacrifice and heartache. A very timely story.

I really enjoyed this creepy horror/thriller with its nostalgic homage to the 1990's written by a local author.
