| Xpress Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA  David Swinson's Crime Song is this week's starred fiction title. "Swinson delivers a superb second installment (after The Second Girl) in the “Frank Marr” series. Readers of Dennis Lehane, Richard Price, and George Pelecanos as well as fans of The Wire will appreciate the gritty depiction of the mean inner-city streets of our nation’s capital." In nonfiction, "those interested in learning more about [Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt] than just their public personae will enjoy their grandson’s take" in Curtis Roosevelt's Upstairs at the Roosevelts’: Growing up with Franklin and Eleanor. And Relaunch Mission, by Robyn Bachar, is this week's starred e-original. "A great read for sf romance fans.... Lindy is a strong, relatable character who doesn’t easily depend on others but is loyal to those who have actually gained her faith. Gabriel has depth; he knows he is trying to make amends for the past and at the same time remains his confident and cocky self."
