The delicacy / by Albon, James,author,illustrator.(CARDINAL)632664;
"Rare and delicious fungi spell trouble for an ambitious restaurateur in this sumptuously painted graphic novel from one of Scotland's most imaginative young cartoonists. Tulip and his brother Rowan have left the simple comforts of their remote Scottish island with a plan: to grow succulent, organic vegetables in an idyllic market garden, and to open a restaurant serving these wholesome culinary delights to the busy sprawl of London. The world of fine dining seems impossibly competitive... until they discover a deliriously scrumptious new species of mushroom. The dish brings diners in droves, catapulting their small restaurant to success beyond their wildest dreams. Now, pressured by the demands of a hungry city, Tulip is desperate to crack the secret of their new ingredient's growth. But just how much will he sacrifice to feed his own insatiable ambition?"--Publisher's website.

Hideaway / by Lundrigan, Nicole,author.(CARDINAL)663944;
"Gloria Janes appears to be a doting suburban mother and loving wife. But beyond her canary-yellow door, Gloria controls her husband, Telly, as well as seven-year-old Maisy and her older brother Rowan, through a disorienting cycle of adoration and banishment. When Telly leaves, Gloria turns on Rowan. He runs away, finding unlikely refuge with a homeless man named Carl, with whom he forms the kind of bond he has never found with his parents. After they are menaced by strangers, Rowan follows Carl to an isolated cottage, where he accidentally sets off a burst of heightened paranoia in Carl, and their adventure takes a dark turn. Gloria is publicly desperate for the safe return of her son while privately plotting ever wilder ways to lure Telly home for good. Her behaviour grows more erratic and her manipulation of Maisy begins to seem dedicated toward an outcome that only she can see. The two storylines drive relentlessly toward a climax that is both shocking and emotionally riveting. Suspenseful, unsettling, and masterful, Hideaway explores the secrets of a troubled family and illuminates an unlikely hero and a source of unexpected strength."--

The first death / by Elliot, Kendraauthor(CARDINAL)352888;
"Rowan Wolff was five years old when she, her brother, and their babysitter were kidnapped by a serial killer in the Pacific Northwest. The babysitter was murdered. Rowan was saved. Her brother was killed and buried in the forest, his remains never found. The convicted killer refuses to say where he buried the boy. Twenty-five years later, Rowan is committed to search and rescue with her faithful canine and is obsessed with finding her brother's grave--and closure. Detective Evan Bolton thrives on unraveling tough cases, but his latest is disturbing. There's another serial killer hunting in Deschutes County, Oregon, and the crimes are identical to those committed by the sociopath languishing in prison. Each victim is linked to Rowan. When skeletal remains of several bodies are exhumed in the forest, Rowan's connection becomes more entwined and impossible to ignore. Rowan and Evan are determined to solve the case before someone else dies. And someone else will, as the truth about the past is unearthed." --

So I lied : a thriller / by Ichaso, Chelsea,author.(CARDINAL)831769;
"Jocelyn is ready to get married-and more ready to have fun. She plans a bachelorette trip to North Wales, where she can forget about her strained relationship and focus on the tension among friends instead. It's a welcome distraction. Her friend Rowan used to be the wild child. But after having a kid of her own and losing the father in a tragic accident, she's now the ever-responsible single mother, cautious in every way. Except one. Cadence doesn't want to be there. For as long as she's known her friends, she's always felt disparate. Maybe it's because those two share a special bond: Jocelyn's brother was Rowan's boyfriend, and they still feel his loss. Or maybe it's because Cadence has secrets they can never know. As the trip goes on, their friendship begins to crack under the pressure of all the things they leave unsaid...but those might be the only things that can save them." --
