Autumn is high time for new blockbuster novels.
When we last saw Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, he had retired to a small town in Canada. And that's where readers will find him in "The Long Way Home" — that is, until his neighbor Clara begs the ex-homicide detective to come out of retirement and find her missing husband.

American, German, English, Russian, and Welsh characters all struggle with Civil Rights, the Cold War, and world politics in this gripping, truly epic novel.

"Neil Patrick Harris: Choose Your Own Autobiography" by Neil Patrick Harris
The goal behind Neil Patrick Harris's choose-your-own-adventure-style autobiography is to put the 'u' back in 'aUtobiography' (or so actor says).

He has wandered the earth fighting evil spirits and communing with the dead, and now Odd must face his biggest challenge of all and deal with the "reckoning."
