The House on Biscayne Bay
The House on Biscayne Bay
by Chanel Cleeton
Hello Miami (1/16/2024)
Chanel Cleeton's new novel is very different from her earlier novels which focused more on the changing political environment and its impact on Cuban families. I was intrigued from the beginning with this story.
This is a mystery with lots of unanswered questions. It has …more

The Continental Affair: A Novel
by Christine Mangan
THE CONTINENTAL AFFAIR (7/7/2023)

The Personal Librarian
by Marie Benedict, Victoria Christopher Murray
Intellect, Passion and Sacrifice (2/14/2021)
