“Time’s Undoing” is an absorbing mystery and a moving lesson in Black history as it plays out in the lives of families through generations.

An enthralling, adventurous read that will... scare you half to death and lift up your heart. King reminds us that before they were Disneyfied, the traditional fairy tales were often brutal and tragic, cautionary tales that helped people cope with a world full of woe.

I can’t begin to count how many novels I’ve read that were set during World War II, but this book is among the very best of them...“Good Night, Irene” is a brilliant piece of storytelling, a compelling portrait of women’s friendships and a powerful tribute to courageous women...

…she was a high-powered investigative reporter with a gift for capturing the human side of stories. In “Through the Groves,” she does just that with her own story. It’s a rich nostalgia trip for longtime Floridians, and a witty and tender tale of coming of age and coming out.

Boyle does a brilliant job of writing about an enormous subject in utterly human terms. He draws the Cullens with all their flaws but with tender affection, too. Amid the climate apocalypse, life goes on, which is, maybe, a sign of hope.

Lisa Unger gives a classic thriller a modern spin in ‘The New Couple in 5B’. Echoes of “Rosemary’s Baby” add to the chills in the story of a young woman and an elegant apartment building with a dark past.
