In fiction, Gregg Hurwitz "excels at writing smart characters and plots. His latest, [The Nowhere Man], continues his track record. Fans of Jack Reacher will love Evan Smoak, a man who will do anything to aid the innocent." Caren Cooper's Citizen Science: How Ordinary People Are Changing the Face of Discovery is one of two starred nonfiction titles this week. "Speaking to educators at all levels, curious individuals hoping to get more involved, and groups planning community programming, this work is an excellent recommendation for both public and academic libraries." And in e-originals, Jenny Colgan's The Christmas Surprise "shows the importance of having people in your life.... While Colgan’s (Christmas at Little Beach Street Bakery; The Bookshop on the Corner) novel is not chock-full of Christmas references and Yuletide cheer, it is a wonderful story about love, family, friendship, and overcoming obstacles."
