Dream Team John Irving, S&S, $28 Jack McCallum, Ballantine, $28 Other Indie Favorites Into the Darkest Corner: A Novel, by Elizabeth Haynes (Harper, $25.99) Catherine Bailey was a vibrant and Some Kind of Peace, by Camilla Grebe and Asa Traff, Paul Norlen (Trans.) (Free Press, $24) The intensity of Scandinavian crime fiction, its intimacy and human scale, is impressively on display in this novel by Swedish sisters Grebe and Traff. I often feel freezing when reading a thriller from the North, but from the very first page, this compelling fiction paints a warm and lively portrait of a Swedish summer, its beauty and lighthearted spirit, its customary celebrations so ironic a background for a dark, wrenching, and compelling story. Barbara Peters,The Poisoned Pen, Scottsdale, AZ outgoing young woman until she met Lee the one she thought was her dream man. After a devastatingly abusive relationship that almost killed her, she became a complete introvert, driven by OCD and scarred by PTSD. Just as she begins a new relationship with her wonderfully understanding neighbor and makes progress dealing with her compulsions, she starts seeing Lee out of the corner of her eye and things in her apartment start feeling out of place. Has he returned, or is she imagining things? A brilliant and exciting thriller! Nichole McCown, Bookshop Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz, CA

Some novelists might have been tempted to emulate her Southern Gothic style; Napolitano treads lightly in this field, letting tragedy work where it best fits. She captures both the joys and weaknesses of O Connor s characters in a parallel to the beloved author s belief that it is difficult to distinguish between blessings and curses. A Good Hard Look is an artful novel that is as electrifying as O Connor s peacocks and as magnetic as her life. Bill Threlfall,Tattered Cover Book Store, Denver, CO
