...starred review. "Dawson?s third novel strikingly and elegantly blends fact and fiction in a reimagining of the events surrounding the spectacular 1922 London trial of Edith Thompson and her lover, Frederick Bywaters, who were convicted and hanged for murdering Edith?s husband, Percy...Gripping, surprising and beautiful. FORECAST: This title was a finalist for the Whitbread Prize; a film (?Another Life?) based on the same incidents premiered in the U.K. and is scheduled for U.S. release this year. Though set 80 years ago in England, the novel should draw a contemporary American audience given the controversy that continues...

Lucado dissects Psalm 23 while recounting tender tales of men and women who have overcome crushing circumstances with Christ?s support. FORECAST: This should be quite a boost for the recently christened W Publishing Group (formerly known as Word), whose cup runneth over with Lucado. Sales for ?He Chose the Nails? have reached 720,000 copies, while Lucado?s recent devotional, ?Grace for the Moment,? has sold 600,000 copies...
