I love when I share a book with someone and tell them that I think they will enjoy it --- and the next time I see them, they hand it back to me with a big smile and huge raves. That is what happened when I shared THE DOORMAN by Chris Pavone, a Bookreporter.com Bets On pick, with our book group leader, Kathleen. She enjoyed it and suggested that we read it for our August discussion. I am looking forward to this meeting!

About the Book
Can one woman stop a chemical magnate from destroying life on Earth?
While working the night shift at a San Francisco news agency, Bayla Jeevan has a shocking out-of-body experience. Her consciousness is transported deep into an Indian forest, where she witnesses a noxious liquid spreading through the soil. At the same time, she receives a message from her father, presumed dead for 15 years, warning her of imminent danger. Coincidence? Unlikely.
Halfway around the world, agrochemical corporation ZedChem --- led by billionaire Krakun Zed --- tests its latest innovation, a product heralded as the solution to topsoil erosion. But the data reveals something else entirely.
As Bayla sets out looking for answers, she learns more about her past --- and her family's connections to a secret organization with ancient roots and to Zed himself. Will Bayla be able to stop the corporation from ruining global agriculture and devastating human existence forever?
In this action-packed eco-thriller, the bonds of family --- and the power to save Earth --- are put to the test.

About the Book
From the New York Times bestselling author of AMAZING GRACE ADAMS comes a wryly resonant and deeply moving family dramedy investigating the question so many of us have asked ourselves: Do my parents have a favorite?
Vivienne and Patrick Fisher have done an excellent job raising their three daughters: Alex, Nancy and Eva. They’re well-adjusted women with impressive careers, caring partners, exciting hobbies and sweet children. So it’s with great anticipation that three generations of Fishers gather at a beautiful glass house in the English countryside for a weeklong celebration of Vivienne’s 70th birthday. But when Patrick’s reaction to a freak accident on the first day of the trip inadvertently reveals that he has a favorite daughter, no one is prepared for the shockwaves it sends through the family.
Decades-old unresolved sibling rivalries are suddenly unmasked. And be it newly uncovered smoking habits, ancient crushes, or private doubts about life decisions both big and small, no one’s secrets are safe. Still-tender wounds are reopened amid an audience of friends, husbands, grandchildren and even coworkers, and as the family's past is re-written, they find themselves suddenly unmoored.
In a lively, poignant examination of memory, sisterhood and family ties, Fran Littlewood reminds us just why it is that people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
