The winner of the advance copy of The English Wife is… …Erin Gehringer! (Of Comment #172.) Congrats, Erin! If you let me know where to send it, I’ll put your book in the mail to you. As for settings, I still have to do a proper tally, but it looks like 1890s London may have…
Read MoreWeekly Reading Round-Up
Happy July, all! I indulged myself over the holiday weekend with a mini-mystery binge: Mary Kubica’s The Good Girl and two of Elly Griffiths’s Ruth Galloway novels, A Dying Fall and The Outcast Dead. Thanks to a recommendation over on my Facebook author page, I am currently immersed in The Romance Reader’s Guide to Life—…
Read MoreTHE ENGLISH WIFE On Location– and Give Away!
Only six more months now until The English Wife appears in stores! For a book that I think of as being primarily a New York book, The English Wife gets around. The settings in the book include 1890s London, Belle Epoque Paris, rural Lincolnshire, glitzy Newport, Gilded Age Manhattan (both uptown and down), and various…
Read MoreWeekly Reading Round-Up
There’s nothing like rediscovering an old favorite. This week, I went back to my Renaissance roots with Judith Merkle Riley’s The Master of All Desires, in which a would-be poetess with a difficult family finds herself accidentally in possession of the Undying Head of Menander, a sinister wish-granter who delights in causing doom and chaos.…

This week, I started with Carol Goodman’s River Road, a psychological thriller about a hit and run in an upstate New York university town, and all the secrets that come out in its wake.

Read MoreMonday Give Away: THE PERILOUS GARD
This Monday’s give away is a little bit different. This week’s book isn’t an advance copy. Quite the contrary. This is a book that first came out before I was born. But I’ve discovered that I have duplicate copies, so it seems only right to send one on to a good home. So this week,…
Read MoreWeekly Reading Round-Up
I’ve had an excellent run of new books this week, across a rather broad genre spectrum, from historical fiction, to women’s fiction, to ghost story/psychological thriller. Here’s this week’s haul: — Jennifer Ryan’s The Chilbury Ladies’ Choir, about a group of women in an English village during World War II, and the various dramas that…
