Publisher Spotlight: Library-Loved eBooks from Macmillan

When Macmillan launched their eBook collection with us in March, we heard cheers from our U.S. library partners that love the high circulating edge of your seat thrillers, crime novels and mysteries. With the success of the pilot program thus far, Macmillan has decided to expand their eBook offerings for libraries to purchase. If you haven't added Macmillan eBooks to your digital collection yet, here are a few recommendations of library-loved authors and titles to get you started:   "Beekeeper's Apprentice" by Laurie King If you're a fan of "Sherlock Holmes", odds are you'll enjoy this story since he's one of the main characters! A young woman named Mary Russell becomes partners with the retired famed detective and they work together to look for the kidnapped daughter of an American senator. If you need more convincing, this book was named one of the Century’s Best 100 Mysteries by the Independent Mystery Booksellers Association.   "A Place of Execution" by Val McDermid PBS fans may recognize the name "Place of Execution" as a Masterpiece: Mystery series. The series was based on this acclaimed book that follows Detective Inspector George Bennett, as well as journalist Catherine Heathcote, investigating the same mysterious case of a missing girl thirty years apart.   It's Christmas in May! These eBooks are fun reads no matter what time of year. "Kissing Christmas Goodbye" by M.C. Beaton is about Agatha and her detective agency that usually leaves her yawning but this Christmas is keeping her busy with a murder case.   "Six Geese A-Slaying" by Donna Andrews tackles another murder – of Santa! Meg Lanslow has to find the killer and save the local Christmas parade. (If you like "Six Geese", make sure to check out Donna Andrews' other bird-themed titles in the Meg Lanslow Mystery series, starting with "Murder with Peacocks".)   Other suggested titles include “Burn“, a part of the popular Nevada Barr series featuring Anna Pigeon, "Whisper to the Blood" by Dana Stabenow, "Blue Heaven" by CJ Box and the "Claire Malloy" series by Joan Hess.   Macmillan titles are all one-copy/one-user. Each copy circulates for 24 months or 52 checkouts, whichever comes first. The Macmillan program is currently only available in the United States.
