In One Little Secret (Crooked Lane), Cate Holahan ’02 unspools a tale of a vacation gone horribly wrong. After a night of drinking and loose lips, a woman is dead. Holahan creates a memorable cast of characters — who all have secrets — for her heroine, detective Gabby Watkins, to investigate.
What if George Washington had donned a crown after the Revolutionary War, rather than accepting the presidency? Katharine McGee ’10’s American Royals (Random House) imagines an American monarchy grappling with duty, intrigue, and the crown, as the family’s eldest daughter grows closer to becoming the country’s first queen regent.
