More U.K. Love For C.J. Box

We're pleased that C.J. Box's THREE WEEKS TO SAY GOODBYE is making such a big splash across the pond!

The Bookseller, the Bible of the U.K. book trade, recently featured it in their "Ones to Watch" section and had the following nice things to say about it: "Atlantic's new imprint launches with a winner and a big marketing spend. An American in Harlan Coben mould and much praised by his peers, it's a non-stop read right to the end. A tale of corruption, paedophilia, blackmail and worse as at the centre of it is a nine-month-old baby girl. It's quite a tale."

We Know You Only Read It For The Articles

...but this month you should also read Playboy for a new short story by Dennis Lehane. We might be biased, but we think that "Animal Rescue" is the most alluring thing in the entire issue!

All The Cool Kids Are Doing It!

Four For Four!

Booklist gave Paul Doiron's THE POACHER'S SON its fourth starred review, saying:
Doiron, editor-in-chief of Down East magazine, is well acquainted with the current political and cultural tensions that crisscross Maine, and his local knowledge drives this fast-paced and twisty narrative. With realistically flawed characters and a strong sense of place -- both on the coast and in the woods -- the novel avoids tourist stereotyping, of Maine itself and its citizens...One hopes this fine novel is the first in a series starring Warden Bowditch, who could quickly become the East Coast version of C. J. Box's game-warden hero Joe Pickett, who patrols the range in Wyoming.

(To answer the reviewer's question, it is indeed the first in a series. We've read a draft of the second installment and can assure you that it's just as exciting as the first!)
