Louisiana

Deb Solomon is a new mom suffering a spate of postpartum depression, a listless marriage and a career in free-fall. So she jumps at the chance to go to work in another world: a university laboratory housing language-competent apes and the humans who study and care for them, led by a brilliant primatologist Soraya Baldwin-Ruhl. But Soraya’s star is already falling, and the people at the lab act more apelike even as the apes start to seem more human. Deb’s own life becomes more and more a science-y soap opera as she follows Soraya into near-madness, then comes close to losing her life inside an ape cage.

The Children of Crow Cove Series

Some years have passed since the Crow-Girl set off on a journey, met Eidi and her mother, Foula, along with a few others, and persuaded them to come live near the little cove where a brook runs out to the sea. But when Foula has another baby, Eidi feels there's no longer room for her in the settlement. So she leaves Crow Cove to make her own way in the world, hoping to help her old friend Rossan with his wool out on the heath. Fate, however, brings her to a harbor town where she must find work, and she takes a position as a weaver in the household of a wealthy merchant. In town, Eidi faces disturbing reminders of her past. She also meets a neglected boy named Tink and soon makes a decision that changes the course of both of their futures. The second book in the Children of Crow Cove series is beautifully written in Bodil Bredsdorff's spare style and will deeply satisfy fans of The Crow-Girl and new readers alike.

1982 print of a group of birders that find one of themselves murdered at the Rio Grande Valley.  Still very readable despite age of story (also funny to see life without cellphones!). Recommend to birders and murder mystery aficionados.

ANSWERS IN THE FORM OF QUESTIONS looks to the past -- and the future -- to explain what Jeopardy! really is: a tradition unlike any other.
