DARKEST EVENING OF THE YE(ISBN=9780553841268) 英文原版
Amazon.com Review Amazon.com Exclusive: The Darkest Ice Cream of the Year by Dean Koontz I once said writing a novel is sometimes like making love andsometimes like having a tooth pulled--and sometimes like makinglove while having a tooth pulled. I arrived at one of those joyfulyet excruciating moments while working on The Darkest Evening ofthe Year. Because I am obsessive about the revision of each page--the wordfussbudget is embarrassingly apt when I am brooding over whether touse a comma or a semicolon--I have more than once held on to amanu* until the drop-dead date for delivery. When that daterolled around for this book, I had written everything, but I wasunwilling to send all of it to my editor. I withheld the last fiftypages for another four days, causing a quiet panic in those at mypublishing house who are responsible for meeting productiondeadlines. Although the book was done, I felt that something was wrong withChapter 63. The action worked, the characters were i

Beyond reach by karin slaughter 无法企及
From Publishers Weekly Starred Review. At the start of bestseller Slaughter's bone-chilling sixth thriller in her Grant County, Ga., crime series (after 2005's Faithless), Dr. Sara Linton, the county's resident pediatrician and medical examiner, is mired in a devastating lawsuit, accused by grieving parents of indirectly causing the death of their terminally ill son. Then Sara and her husband, police chief Jeffrey Tolliver, must travel to rural Reese, Ga., where Lena Adams, Jeffrey's often reckless detective, has been injured in an explosion that killed a local woman. Lena's mysterious escape from the hospital plunges her, Sara and Jeffrey into a dangerous web of meth trafficking, white supremacy groups and long-buried family secrets. Expertly shifting back and forth in both time and point of view, Slaughter builds the suspense to a perfect crescendo, connecting every loose plot strand in a devastating and unforgettable climax. With methamphetamine use on the rise in the country, Slaughter's unflinching portr

Loosely connected short stories mine both the history of a small Canadian town and the complex personal histories of Munro's protagonists. Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal For her newest gathering, Canadian novelist/short story writer Munro (Friends of My Youth, LJ 3/15/90) has collected another eight stories of women's lives. Most of the stories are set in and around the town of Carstairs, Alberta, where the Doud family is the biggest employer. Munro is a master at developing the details that bring her characters to life: In "Carried Away," librarian Louisa responds to the increasingly intimate correspondence of a World War II soldier, who fails to contact her when he returns home. In "A Wilderness Station," set in the 1850s when Carstairs is an outpost, orphaned Annie McKillop sets out for an uncertain future as the mail-order bride of a homesteader. These luminous, full-bodied stories will be widely enjoyed. Ann H. Fisher, Radford P.L., Va.

Gore Vidal's Narratives of Empire series spans the history ofthe United States from the Revolution to the post-World War IIyears. With their broad canvas and large cast of fictional andhistorical characters, the novels in this series present a panoramaof the American political and imperial experience as interpreted byone of its most worldly, knowing, and ironic observers. The centennial of the United States was celebrated with greatfanfare--fireworks, exhibitions, pious calls to patriotism, andperhaps the most underhanded political machination in the country'shistory: the theft of the presidency from Samuel Tilden in favor ofRutherford B. Hayes. This was the Gilded Age, when robber baronsheld the purse strings of the nation, and the party in power wasdetermined to stay in power. Gore Vidal's 1876 gives us the news ofthe day through the eyes of Charlie Schuyler, who has returned fromexile to regain a lost fortune and arrange a marriage into New Yorksociety for his widowed daughter.

MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD(ISBN=9780679429227) 英文原版
Voodoo. Decadent socialites packing Lugars. Cotillions. Withtowns like Savannah, Georgia, who needs Fellini? Midnight in theGarden of Good and Evil takes two narrative strands--eachworthy of its own book--and weaves them together to make a singlefascinating tale. The first is author John Berendt's lovingdepiction of the characters and rascals that prowled Savannah inthe eight years it was his home-away-from-home. "Eccentrics thrivein Savannah," he writes, and proves the point by introducing LutherDiggers, a thwarted inventor who just might be plotting to poisonthe town's water supply; Joe Odom, a jovial jackleg lawyer andsquatter nonpareil; and, most memorably, the Lady Chablis, whom youreally should meet for yourself. Then, on May 2, 1981, the book'ssecond story line commences, when Jim Williams, a wealthy antiquedealer and Savannah's host with the most, kills his "friend" DannyHansford. (If those quotes make you suspect something, you should.)Was it self-defense, as Williams claimed--or murder? The books

Amazon.co.uk Review What keeps a readerturning the pages of a thriller? Strong characters, certainly--Chandler gripped our attention through the most impenetrable plotswith his powerfully-drawn characters. But narrative ingenuity isthe ace card for most of the top writers in the genre, and it'shere that Coben really excels. Of course, having a novel andunusual protagonist is a highly desirable asset, and in MyronBolithar, his fast-thinking and vulnerable sports agent, Coben hasthe perfect centre for his labyrinthine plot. Living down hisdubious past, Myron finds himself conned into babysitting BrendaSlaughter, the hottest female sports star around. But when herfather disappears, and the mob starts leaning on her, Myron findshimself undertaking duties far more dangerous than the averagesports agent ever faces. And with his old friend, the urbane anddeadly Windsor Lockwood, Myron is up against very powerful menwho'll go to any lengths to protect their secrets. Coben's dialogueis studded with caustic wit, and

ONE DOOR AWAY FROM HEAVEN(ISBN=9780553582758) 英文原版
Koontz's latest is a tale of redemption from fallen lives and offaith in the universe--nothing we haven't seen before. Not to sayit isn't entertaining. It will enthrall readers. But nothingextraordinary awaits them at the end. The writing is baroque, andthere seems to be no reason for much of Koontz's elaborateness.Micky, just emerging from a nasty period in her life, is livingwith her kooky Aunt Geneva when she meets bright, wittyLeilani--Lani for short--who despises the pity people feel for herwhen they see her mutant hand and braced leg. She would rather theyremembered her wit. Micky finds meaning in her own life when shediscovers the horrible truth of Lani's, and, finally givensomething other than anger to focus on, rides to the rescue.Interwoven with this story is that of a boy fleeing the FBI andcreatures far, far worse, who killed his mother and will stop atnothing to kill him. The book's revelations, while not exactlypredictable, are not earth shattering. Suffice it to say that thetale is told well e

Starred Review. Nine years after winning the National Book Award, Franzen's The Corrections consistently appears on "Best of the Decade" lists and continues to enjoy a popularity that borders on the epochal, so much so that the first question facing Franzen's feverishly awaited follow-up is whether it can find its own voice in its predecessor's shadow. In short: yes, it does, and in a big way. Readers will recognize the strains of suburban tragedy afflicting St. Paul, Minn.'s Walter and Patty Berglund, once-gleaming gentrifiers now marred in the eyes of the community by Patty's increasingly erratic war on the right-wing neighbors with whom her eerily independent and sexually precocious teenage son, Joey, is besot, and, later, "greener than Greenpeace" Walter's well-publicized dealings with the coal industry's efforts to demolish a West Virginia mountaintop. The surprise is that the Berglunds' fall is outlined almost entirely in the novel's first 30 pages, freeing Franzen to delve into Patty's affluent East Co

This extraordinary novel provides a close look into Cairosociety at the end of World War I.
