Other Indie FavoritesCat Out of Hell, by Lynne Truss (Melville House, $24.95) “Cat lover or hater, you’ll be caught up in this quirky mystery from the author of Eats, Shoots and Leaves. Cat Out of Hell features Roger, a most unusual, talented, and enigmatic feline, and the humans he involves in a case worthy of Sherlock Holmes. Can Roger be trusted? Is Wiggy Winterton, the human aiding him, perhaps going ‘wiggy’? You decide. It’s a darkly funny hoot!” —Rosemary Pugliese, Quail Ridge Books & Music, Raleigh, NC

The Valley: A Novel, by John Renehan (Dutton, $26.95) “Lt. Black, a desk officer at a forward operating base in Afghanistan, has been ordered by his commander to investigate a complaint about a platoon stationed in the Valley, the most remote and dreaded American-occupied outpost in the country. It has been said that war brings out both the best and the worst in men, but what Black, who struggles with his own demons, comes to realize is that the truth is much more complicated and frightening. The Valley is rich with detail, compelling, and complex.” —Lyn Roberts, Square Books, Oxford, MS

MASS MARKETAnother Indie FavoriteMurder at Cape Three Points: An Inspector Darko Dawson Mystery, by Kwei Quartey (Soho Crime, $14.95) “Two bodies appear drifting in a canoe at the Cape Three Points oil drilling rig. They turn out to be Charles and Fiona Smith-Aidoos, prominent members of the local community. Charles works for Malgum Oil, the company that owns the rig. The local police investigate, but nothing comes of it. Sapphire, the Smith-Aidoos’ niece, requests the help of the Ghanaian federal police, and Inspector Darko Dawson is assigned. Quartey portrays Ghana with all its charms and quirks, a culture that stands at the brink of the modern world, yet has not lost its tribal traditions.” —Janice Hunsche, Kaleidosaurus Books, Fishers, IN

EARLY & MIDDLE GRADE READERS YOUNG ADULT

Another Indie Favorite for Ages 4 to 8 Meet the Dullards, by Sara Pennypacker, Daniel Salmieri (Illus.) (Balzer + Bray, $17.99) “How can Mr. and Mrs. Dullard keep their children from experiencing exciting things like books and the outdoors? Perhaps by dressing them in dull colors, by having them watch the paint dry on the walls, and by moving them when things get too exciting. But will they succeed? Siblings Blanda, Borley, and Little Dud have other ideas!” —Kathy Taber, Kids Ink, Indianapolis, IN

Another Indie Favorite for Teen Readers The Shadow Cabinet: The Shades of London, by Maureen Johnson (Putnam Juvenile, $17.99) “This third installment of the Shades of London quartet has been a long time coming, and it may be the most satisfying book in the series so far. Picking up where they left off, Rory, Callum, and Boo are grappling with unexpected tragedy while trying to solve the mystery of Jane and her cult, dealing with ghosts, and hiding from just about everyone. If you thought things were weird in the first two books, just wait—this one is off-the-charts strange and you’ll love every minute of it!” —Paige Mushaw, Northshire Bookstore, Manchester Center, VT
