Newsmax Rising Bestsellers – Week of Dec. 30, 2024

This week’s Newsmax Rising Bestsellers depict the good, the bad, and the ugly of history — and the current day. One describes the truly bad of the current president known as “the big guy,” while another gives new firsthand accounts of one of the ugliest days in recent history: Oct. 7, 2023. The remaining nonfiction offerings look at historical and contemporary “good:” the role academics played in winning World War II, and President-elect Donald Trump’s blueprint for unprecedented growth, explained by his closest economic advisors. Then there is the fiction selection, which comes from a New York times bestselling author.

“Haunted” by Kat Martin (Kensington)

Kat Martin’s latest work centers on a present-day murder in an Arizona mining town that is unexpectedly connected to one from the late 19th century. “This is a well-written, entertaining, fast paced, romantic suspense novel,” wrote Tracey for GoodReads. “It has a likable, strong and capable female protagonist, a kind and caring male protagonist, sizzling chemistry, mystery, ghosts, vividly described settings, twists and turns, and a happily ever after ending. The hospitality industry and hotel are accurately portrayed and add depth to the story.” [Fiction]The Big Guy: How a President and His Son Sold Out America by Miranda Devine (Broadside Books)
