My favorite Southern author, Joshilyn Jackson, recently released her third book: The Girl Who Stopped Swimming (Grand Central Publishing, hardcover, $23.99. Laurel and Thalia are as different as sisters can be: Laurel has built a tidy life in the suburbs with her husband, David, and daughter, Shelby; Thalia is an unconventional actress. But when Shelby’s best friend is found dead in Laurel’s swimming pool, Laurel must put past differences behind her and enlist Thalia’s help to protect Shelby and discover what really happened to the girl who stopped swimming. If you’ve not read Joshilyn Jackson before, she writes wonderful Southern stories with a hint of mystery that should appeal to fans of Fannie Flagg and Mary Kay Andrews.
