We apologize that this entry of group recommendations doesn’t include hotlinks into the catalog — we figured it was better to at least share the info now, rather than wait another week until the links could be added. In the meantime, the August through October Just Desserts selected titles will be announced shortly!
So, what mysteries have you been reading that you’d recommend?
