Laura posted: “So Cold the River by Michael Koryta for the mystery/thriller set and The Island by Elin Hilderbrand, set on an island near Nantucket, for the literary romance-inclined.”

That Neil Guy added: “I’ll be reading the new novel by Allison Winn Scotch: ‘The One That I Want’ (http://amzn.to/cEsrSa). Sadly, though, I probably won’t make it to the actual beach and will just sit on my back porch instead.”
