The novel's title--Secrets--turns out to be as ironic as the name of her hometown. Her mother, her sister, and the man she befriends in Florida all keep secrets. In a nine-year jou...

Sharon Dean has recompiled, dated, and, in many cases, physically reassembled all of Constance Fenimore Woolson's extant correspondence from nearly forty sources. Dean's painstaking work presents the fullest picture we have of Woolson and functions as an important corrective to fictional portrayals.

As retired English professor Susan Warner tracks down the motive, she discovers a secret that uncovers the sins of the past and that connects the victim and the murderer. In Tour de Trace, the tenacious Susan confron...

A coterie of academics, they've gathered at a ramshackle hotel on Star ...
