Clarity by Kim Harrington
Check out this new supernatural mystery, Clarity by Kim Harrington.
Clarity “Clare” Fern sees things. Things no one else can see. Things like stolen kisses and long-buried secrets. All she has to do is touch a certain object, and the visions come to her. It’s a gift. And a curse. When a teenage girl is found murdered, Clare’s ex-boyfriend wants her to help solve the case—but Clare is still furious at the cheating jerk. Then Clare’s brother, who has supernatural gifts of his own, becomes the prime suspect, and Clare can no longer look away. Teaming up with Gabriel, the smoldering son of the new detective, Clare must venture into the depths of fear, revenge, and lust in order to track the killer. But will her sight fail her just when she needs it most?

Edgar Award Nominees
The Mystery Writers of America have announced the nominees for the 2011 Edgar Allan Poe Awards. The winners will be announced April 28, 2011. In the meantime, here are the nominees in the young adult category:
 |
The River by Mary Jane Beaufrand: |
|---|---|
| “…insightful and often surprisingly funny…the story is really about Ronnie, and she feels entirely real. Compelling.” –Kirkus | |
| “With its blend of richly realistic character and slightly uncanny ambiance, this will be a favorite with fans of mysteries that tug the heartstrings.” –BCCB | |
 |
Please Ignore Vera Dietz by A.S. King: |
| “. . . depicts the journey to overcome a legacy of poverty, violence, addiction and ignorance as an arduous one, but Vera’s path glimmers with grace and hope.” –Kirkus | |
| “King shows how shame and silence can have risky – sometimes deadly – consequences. The book is deeply suspenseful and profoundly human.” –Publishers Weekly | |
 |
7 Soulsby Barnabas Miller: |
| “Readers will quickly polish off this hard-to-put-down thriller.” –Booklist | |
| “I was so deliciously creeped out by this book.” –SLJ | |
 |
The Interrogation of Gabriel James by Charlie Price: |
| “As with the finest interrogation dramas, like the movie The Usual Suspects, the final reveal is both satisfying and surprising, but it’s the well-structured and paced buildup that’s most worth relishing.” –Booklist | |
| “The fast pace, dark mood, and well-plotted story line should have readers hooked.” –Publishers Weekly | |
 |
Dust City by Robert Paul Weston: |
| “Weston deftly tucks his fairy-tale tropes into this thought-provoking mystery.” –Kirkus | |
| “Weston has created a tightly paced mystery, a coming of age story, and a vivid fantasy…Dust City is a winner.” –Quill and Quire |
