In Rogelia’s House of Magic, author Jamie Martinez Wood offers a new sort of magic tale for teens. In this one, three girls are taught by their mystic housemaid in the art of magic (somewhat reluctantly). Also new this week: Also new this week: Where Memories Lie by Deborah Crombie, in which two Scotland Yard — Gemma Jones and Duncan Kincaid — delve into an old murder in involving two Jewish refugees. I mention Gemma’s name because that was my brother’s girlfriend’s name when he was junior high, and I’ve never heard it since. Anyway, the book looks like a clever little mystery book by Crombie, a Texan writer who travels to Britain each year to immerse herself in British culture.

Also, Catherine Aird has released her latest in the C.D. Sloan detective series, Losing Ground, in which the mystery involves the theft of an 18th Century painting that quickly turns into a possible case of murder.
