| Xpress Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA  Anne Holt's In Dust and Ashes is one of two starred fiction titles this week. "This tenth and final book in this best-selling Norwegian series (after Offline) is perhaps one of the best. Holt is an expert at creating multifaceted characters and riveting fast-paced crime novels." In nonfiction, Rachel Kolsky's Women’s London: A Tour Guide to Great Lives is an "essential purchase across the consumer, public, and academic market segments owing to its singular scope and acceptable execution." And in e-originals, Rachel Goodman's Rescuing the Receiver, the second title in the "How To Score" series, "can be enjoyed by any contemporary romance reader, especially lovers of dogs and football."
