“The Villa” by Rachel Hawkins
Jumping between two time lines and following two woman, Rachel Hawkins “The Villa” is a richly detailed and mysterious rehashing of the infamous time that Mary Shelley spent in Geneva where she wrote the seminal “Frankenstein”.

Weyward by Emilia Hart
It’s not easy to live up to this cover. If I were the author, Emilia Hart, I’d have been both ecstatic and terrified when the publisher first showed me the art for this novel. I mean, look at it! And I’m going to raise your expectations even more. It’s hard to believe this is a […]

The Wager, the latest book by David Grann, is a seaworthy addition to this run of dramatic, gnarly, narrative non-fiction. The year, 1741. The dream: win naval glory […]

Jaws by Peter Benchley
Just in time for Shark Week. Have you read the book that started it all? Before the iconic movie there was this book published in 1974 and written by Peter Benchley. If you can get past the egregiously dated language and attitudes of the 1970s, this book makes entertaining beach reading or can help extend […]
