Beschreibungen/Notizen

• [...]Mead's earthiness sometimes morphs into otherworldliness. [...]Rivard possesses a charmingly clever and idiosyncratic facility with his metaphors and turns of phrase, as in "the nutshell/ space of the mind" or "the vexed/ but coppery-bright buzz that likewise/ comes if you cup a loud cricket in your hand." (Sept.) Review by Staff Auntie Poldi and the Sicilian Lions, Bitter Lemon Press, Mario Giordano, John Brownjohn, 14.95 (320p) ISBN 978-1-908524-69-0 Giordano's winning debut and series launch unleashes 60-year-old Isolde "Poldi" Oberreiter, the daughter of a Munich police detective, on the unsuspecting populace of the Sicilian village Torre Archirafi, where the fiercest conflicts center on where to buy the best fish, or whether coffee should be drunk solely as a sugar delivery system. Agent: Karen Ball, The Steve Laube Agency (Sept.) Review by Staff Catching Heat, Tyndale House Publishers, Janice Cantore, 14.99 (432p) ISBN 978-1-4143-9670-5 This third book of Cantore's (Burning Proof) Cold Case Justice series will stand alone just fine, but readers will benefit from reading the backstory in the first two books.
