Xpress Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA The Shameless, by Ace Atkins, is one of this week's starred fiction titles. This latest addition to the "Quinn Colson" series is "a troubling, violent, plot-driven drama focusing on far-right politics supported by corruption and murder. The result is an intense, open-ended novel that should carry a 'To be continued' message." Also in fiction, Susie Finkbeiner's starred title All Manner of Things is "a must-have for historical fiction fans and book clubs. Finkbeiner joins authors Valerie Fraser Luesse and Lauren K. Denton in tackling tough topics with realistic characters and a gentle touch." Yale Needs Women: How the First Group of Girls Rewrote the Rules of an Ivy League Giant is one of this week's starred nonfiction selections. "This stunning, engaging work highlights the strength and courage of women who fought for their future against centuries of patriarchy. Perfect for readers interested in seeing how far women have come—and how far they still have yet to go." And Karin Slaughter's latest mystery, The Last Widow, is another starred selection. "Another strong novel by Slaughter, with complex characters to root for and an antagonist you hope gets what he deserves. With a well-written, intriguing plot and an edge-of-the-seat ending, this is sure to keep readers up late into the night."
