| Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA  In fiction, Romy Hausmann's starred English-language debut, Dear Child, "is absorbing and sinister, with a tightening web of psychological intrigue. Tiny clues are steadily inserted into this fast-paced, shivery tale with an unforeseen denouement." The Man in the Microwave Oven, by Susan Cox, is one of this week's starred mysteries. "The follow-up to Cox’s award-winning The Man on the Washing Machine includes a delightful amateur sleuth and eccentric characters with appeal for fans of traditional mysteries. The intricate plotting will keep readers guessing." Lee Goldberg's Bone Canyon is another starred mystery. "Goldberg follows Lost Hills with a riveting, intense story. Readers of Karin Slaughter or Michael Connelly will want to try this." Field Notes from an Unintentional Birder: A Memoir, by Julia Zarankin, is one of this week's starred nonfiction selections. "Recommended for readers interested in birds, the subculture of bird-watching, and stories of personal discovery and change." And in performing arts, Nancy West's Masterpiece: America’s 50-Year-Old Love Affair with British Television Drama is "the definitive guide for scholars and fans alike to all things Masterpiece and Mystery!"
