Description: Zombies have infested a fallen America. A young girl named Temple is on the run. Haunted by her past and pursued by a killer, Temple is surrounded by death and danger, hoping to be set free.

For twenty-five years, civilization has survived in meager enclaves, guarded against a plague of the dead. Temple wanders this blighted landscape, keeping to herself and keeping her demons inside her heart. She can’t remember a time before the zombies, but she does remember an old man who took her in and the younger brother she cared for until the tragedy that set her on a personal journey toward redemption. Moving back and forth between the insulated remnants of society and the brutal frontier beyond, Temple must decide where ultimately to make a home and find the salvation she seeks.

Too Many Murders: A Carmine Delmonico Novel
by Colleen McCullough

Pub. Date: December 1st 2009 by Simon & Schuster

Good Reads Link: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6786313-too-many-murders



From Publishers Weekly:
Set in a Connecticut college town, bestseller McCullough’s disappointing sequel to On, Off (2006) starts off with an over-the-top premise and doesn’t improve from there. In April 1967, a dozen murders occur in the normally quiet town of Holloman, Conn., in just 18 hours, culminating in the death by bear trap of Evan Pugh, a student at Chubb University with a penchant for blackmail. The disparate victims include a hooker, a college dean and the head of a major corporation; among the killing methods are four poisonings, three shootings and two pillow suffocations. In an unrealistic move, Capt. Carmine Delmonico of the Holloman police, who’s in charge of the unwieldy investigation, sends his sergeants home for a good night’s sleep while the crimes are still fresh. The solution may elicit unintended giggles as it papers over holes in logic rather than filling them.
