Here are some books that have come across my radar recently:
The Catherine LeVendeur mystery series, by Sharon Newman. The first is Death Comes as Epiphany; in it, a young scholar comes to the Convent of the Paraclete, and a precious book goes missing. Catherine sets out to save the manuscript as well as the reputation of the convent’s prioress, the infamous Heloise.
More medieval historical fiction: Within the Fetterlock, by Brian Wainwright. A novel about Constance of York, granddaughter of Edward III.
And a few well-known chick lit authors have books coming out in the summer/fall of 2009: Jane Green (Dune Road; June 16); Sophie Kinsella (Twenties Girl; August 25th; and Jennifer Weiner (Best Friends Forever; September 8th).
