The Dark Library
Evans’s latest (after The Traitor Beside Her) misses the mark, failing to engross readers in the Ecker family secrets and the turmoil of World War II. Despite numerous intriguing elements, too many details dull the edge of the mystery.

The Perils of Lady Catherine de Bourgh
Gray continues to faithfully recreate the world of Jane Austen’s novels in this delightful third book in her series (following The Late Mrs. Willoughby).

City of Betrayal
Fans of the series will enjoy revisiting the characters, but readers expecting an engrossing mystery may be disappointed.
Evergreen
Once again, Hirahara illuminates the experiences of Japanese Americans during World War II by embodying them in the lives of the Ito family. The author weaves a compelling tale, which is all the more poignant as it reminds readers of the shameful treatment of Japanese Americans, along with the racial prejudice still at work. A must-read.
