Here is a list of some of the new books, with five debut series from Nicole Asselin, Ann Cleeves, Kathi Daley, Naomi Hirahara, and Denise Swanson, releasing this week. My pick of the week is . . . .

Iced in Paradise by Naomi Hirahara ~ Leilani Santiago is back in her birthplace, the Hawaiian island of Kaua’i, to help keep afloat the family business, a shave ice shack. When she goes to work one morning, she stumbles across a dead body, a young pro surfer who was being coached by her estranged father. As her father soon becomes the No. 1 murder suspect, Leilani must find the real killer and somehow safeguard her ill mother, little sisters, and grandmother while also preserving a long-distance relationship with her boyfriend in Seattle. “This was an enticingly pleasing treat that I savored. . .delightfully charming debut” -my musing
