Wednesday's Game: Books with a City/Town/Village in their name
This will be a bit harder than the last one :)
I'll start with A Cold Day in Paradise... set in Paradise, MI (in the upper peninsula), it is the first book in the Alex McKnight series by Steve Hamilton.
Can you think of one?

Taking a bit of liberty with this one: THE GUERNSEY LITERARY AND POTATO PEEL PIE SOCIETY (2008) by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. Guernsey is a channel island but the residents refer to themselves as from Guernsey. This was one of my very favorite reads!

Chicago was a great host to the World Exposition, which was called "The White City" because of the architecture. I enjoyed the read very much.

One of my favorites is "A Town Like Alice" by Nevil Shute. Of course, the reference is to Alice Springs, Australia. It was also made into a movie.

The Three Christs of Ypsilanti a non-fiction book that reads like a novel
The author brings together three paranoid schizophrenic patients from the State Hospital in Ypsilanti, Michigan who had one thing in common, each believed himself to be Jesus Christ. An investigation into the nature of human identity, belief, and delusion that is poignant, amusing, and at times disturbing.
