*The Kept Woman by Karin Slaughter: "…This is prime Slaughter, must-read fare for thriller fans…Slaughter is a permanent fixture on thrillerdom’s A-list, and a new Will Trent novel after a three-year absence will only heighten the interest." Check out the egally on Edelweiss
*Melville in Love by Michael Shelden: "…Riveting in its incandescent sense of discovery, intimacy, and velocity…transforms our perception of Melville and introduces 'one of the great unsung figures in literary history.'"
*Night of the Animals by Bill Broun: "…vibrantly blends myth and satire to paint both a cautionary warning about present behavior and a futuristic vision of what the unbridled abuse of nature might unveil. For fans of Lydia Millet and Margaret Atwood." Check out the egally on Edelweiss
*Diane Arbus by Arthur Lubow: "…Lubow’s portrait is the most sharply focused, encompassing, and incisive to date." Check out the egalley on Edelweiss
*Lift by Daniel Kunitz: "…This thoughtful, accessible, and remarkably insightful cultural history of fitness will appeal to anyone who has set foot into a gym or laced up running shoes while wondering, 'Why am I doing this?'" Check out the egalley on Edelweiss
*Run the World by Becky Wade: "…Every so often a book comes along that becomes a cult classic for competitive runners but also has appeal to a broader audience. John L. Parker’s Once a Runner (1978), Christopher McDougall’s Born to Run (2009), and Chris Lear’s Running with the Buffaloes (2000) were all such books, and this terrific debut is sure to join their ranks." Check out the egalley on Edelweiss
*The Bones of Paradise by Jonis Agee: "…Agee brilliantly interweaves these two stories of loss, guilt, and vengeance, which play out against the vivid backdrop of the Sand Hills, the breathtaking yet unforgiving land where each family is struggling to maintain its roots. Another beautifully rendered and thought-provoking novel from Agee, who calls this land home." Check out the egalley on Edelweiss
*Eve of a Hundred Midnights by Bill Lascher: "…conveys the privation, danger, and romance of this time in an utterly detailed and beguiling way." Check out the egalley on Edelweiss
