The pages sit open like a pair of wings, and the layout has a roomy feel. The Anthologist is a left-hand, or verso, page, matched by a right-hand, recto counterpart. A distinctly clitoral toggle switch lets you move around a page and highlight and make notes and save passages - stuff you'd use a pencil to do in a standard book - but it's fussy and Lilliputian to boot. Unfortunately, that's also why it's such a pain in the grasp to find specific stuff on Kindle. You want bigger type? Okay! Fewer words per line? No problem. I turned randomly in the book to page 10, where Baker writes "People are going to feed you all kinds of oyster crackers about iambic pentameter" - except that it wasn't page 10 on Kindle, it was at "locations 131-38," which is how Kindle has to number things because its typeface is customizable.

It’s certainly true that The Couple Next Door opens brilliantly, its present-tense narrative adding to the urgency as Anne and Marco panic and the police arrive, discovering tyre tracks in the garage and the back door’s motion detector disabled. who have all turned to crime after originally writing either under other names and/or genres”. Like The Girl on a Train’s author, Paula Hawkins, Lapena’s publisher tells us, placing the novel firmly in the lucrative domestic suspense market at which it is aimed, Lapena “is one of an emerging trend of women writers. Trust me”, while Harlan Coben calls it “meticulously crafted and razor-sharp”. Mr Jack Reacher, Lee Child, tells us that “real men read women writers – because of books like this. Shari Lapena’s The Couple Next Door comes garlanded with quotes from fellow thriller writers. Diana, it seems, caught the eye of the dashing Lord Payne, but Minerva does not approve of him – especially for her sister.

Historical Romance published by Avon 27 Mar 12 C2’s review of A Week to be Wicked (Spindle Cove, Book 2) by Tessa Dare In the 17th century, the overcoat became widely stylized and available to the different classes. In many countries, coats and gowns reaching below the knee have been worn for centuries, often for formal uses, establishing either social status or as part of a professional or military uniform. Unlike overcoats, topcoats are usually made from lighter weight cloth such as gabardine or covert, while overcoats are made from heavier cloth or fur. Topcoats and overcoats together are known as outercoats. They are sometimes confused with or referred to as topcoats, which are shorter and end at or above the knees.

Luca Guadagnino’s Bones and All hits all the seminal beats of a romantic drama-and it’s undoubtedly the romance of the year, overflowing with visceral pining and slow sunsets.
