Few female figures of the 20th century are more iconic than Princess Di. The dust jacket of this book, showing a black-and-white photo of a tiara'd blonde in a strapless white gown and pearls --- virtually copying a 1997 People magazine cover --- is immediately recognizable, though the model's face is turned away. Her innocence as a bride, her struggles as a wife, her escapades and good works as a divorced woman, and of course her untimely death add up to a bitter modern fairy tale. Monica Ali has rewritten that narrative and come up with a provocative alternative. Read More

Part of the attraction I feel toward Linda Castillo's books is the same a man might feel toward a woman he encounters on a regular basis. I live in proximity to rural Holmes County, Ohio, where Castillo's novels of quiet and stark danger are set, and often mark the presence of Amish buggies traversing overpasses, an everyday anachronism noted and then gone.

Reading a Ruth Rendell novel is the literary equivalent of walking down a sketchy street after the bars have closed. There might not be anything obviously threatening in one's surroundings, but that feeling of dread just keeps mounting with each step you take --- or, in this case, with each page you turn. What starts off as an apparently straightforward portrait of a London apartment building quickly grows seriously creepy, as you realize --- even before you really know it --- that terrible things are going to happen to one, or some, or maybe all of these people.
