| Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA  Dangerous Consequences, by Claire Booth, is one of this week's starred mysteries. "The latest in Booth’s 'Hank Worth' series balances well-developed characters and dry humor with a solid police procedural. Readers who appreciate the teamwork in Steven F. Havill’s 'Posadas County' books or Linda Castillo’s Kate Burkholder mysteries should catch up with the sheriff’s department in Branson." In history, Incomparable Realms: Spain During the Golden Age, 1500–1700, by Jeremy Robbins, is one of this week's starred selections. "The illustrations alone make Robbins’s book worth purchasing, but it is also a defining study of a seminal period in the history of Western art." Ned Kelly Award winner Sulari Gentill's The Woman in the Library is another starred mystery. "The fictional story of an author writing about another writer with messy, complicated friendships and suspicion is an innovative literary mystery." And in political science, One Person, One Vote: A Surprising History of Gerrymandering in America, by Nick Seabrook, is this week's starred selection. "A timely and powerful book that should be read by everyone interested in preserving American democracy." See All Reviews››› |
