Holding on to chaos / by Score, Lucy,author.;
Eva is a hot mess running from her past and doesn't mind telling a fib or two to protect her secrets. It's too bad that she moved to the nosiest small town in the world with Sheriff Sexy -- the tall, built human lie detector. He's suddenly showing interest and treating every conversation like it's an interrogation. Donovan loves his nice, quiet hippie town, and he's got some pretty strong feelings when it comes to a certain klutzy redhead, too. But she's hiding something. Just when he starts to peel back those layers to get to the naked truth, the entire town loses its collective mind -- and inhibitions -- in what town elders identify as an astrological apocalypse. Can he save the girl from her past and the town from itself?

"In Hayley Scrivenor's Dirt Creek, a small-town debut mystery described as The Dry meets Everything I Never Told You, a girl goes missing and a community falls apart and comes together. When twelve-year-old Esther disappears on the way home from school in a small town in rural Australia, the community is thrown into a maelstrom of suspicion and grief. As Detective Sergeant Sarah Michaels arrives in town during the hottest spring in decades and begins her investigation, Esther's tenacious best friend, Ronnie, is determined to find Esther and bring her home. When schoolfriend Lewis tells Ronnie that he saw Esther with a strange man at the creek the afternoon she went missing, Ronnie feels she is one step closer to finding her. But why is Lewis refusing to speak to the police? And who else is lying about how much they know about what has happened to Esther? Punctuated by a Greek chorus, which gives voice to the remaining children of the small, dying town, this novel explores the ties that bind, what we try and leave behind us, and what we can never outrun, while never losing sight of the question of what happened to Esther, and what her loss does to a whole town"--

Cakewalk : a novel / by Brown, Rita Mae,author.;
"Set against the backdrop of America emerging from World War I, Cakewalk provides an entertaining look at a small town straddling the Mason Dixon line, where the townsfolk remain split between good and bad, or love and sex, or male and female, or politics and sobriety, and the inimitable, irrepressible, distinctly free-thinking Hunsenmier sisters, Louise and Julia--otherwise known as Wheezie and Jutz--and their wide circle of equally indelible friends.
