Middlemarch
george eliot
With irony and perception, humour and sympathy, George Elliot combines the characters and customs of the life she knew best to create a richly detailed pageant of English provincial life in the early 19th C. which evokes comparison with Tolstoy and Jane Austen. The hopes and ideals of her heroine, Dorothea Brooks, 'open, ardent and not the least self-admiring', are revealed with a compassionate understanding which owes much to George Elliot's own experiences as a young woman rebelling against the convention of a genteel upbringing.

Everybody's Best Friend
Ken Englade
Inside a beautiful house in Philadelphia's ritzy Main Line section lay the body of a young mother --dead of an apparent drowning in her bathtub. With no sign of a break-in, no history of marital problems, and the naive belief that these things sometimes just happen, Stefanie Rabinowitz's family prepared to bury the 29-year-old wife and mother. But at the eleventh hour, because Stefanie was so young, and because there were no witnesses to her death, an autopsy was ordered. And what it revealed was unthinkable: Stefanie had been murdered-strangled in her home, then dragged into the tub to stage a fake drowning. Even more shocking was the suspected killer-Stefanie's 34-year-old husband, Craig: devoted family man, loyal husband, and "everybody's best friend." When the astounding truth began to emerge, so did the tawdry double life of Craig Rabinowitz, a man so obsessed with a two-thousand-dollar-a-week exotic dancer, that his habit caused him to look to the insurance money he would get from murdering his wife. Now, with exclusive interviews and startling inside details, bestselling author Ken Englade blows wide open the shocking true account of a storybook marriage that ended in bone-chilling murder.

Cause of Death
Patricia Cornwell
"Full marks, as always, for the gripping forensic detail and beleaguered Scarpetta's legendary toughness." Kirkus Reviews (starred review). Through six harrowing, expertly crafted crime novels, Patricia Cornwell has earned an international following of passionate readers who are addicted to her singular blend of spellbinding storytelling, absorbing forensic detail, and characters who grow more complex and interesting with each book. Now Cornwell submerges Dr. Kay Scarpetta in a labyrinthine case that wraps a web of danger around those closest to her and threatens to wreak fear and death far beyond the confines of Virginia. New Year's Eve and the final murder scene of Virginia's bloodiest year since the Civil War takes Scarpetta thirty feet below the Elizabeth River's icy surface. A scuba diver, Ted Eddings, is dead, an investigative reporter who was a favorite at the Medical Examiner's Office. Was Eddings probing the frigid depths of the Inactive Ship Yard for a story, or simply diving for sunken trinkets? And why did Scarpetta receive a phone call from someone reporting the death before the police were notified? With the advent of a second murder--this one hitting even closer to home-- the case envelops Scarpetta, her neice Lucy, and police captain Pete Marino in a world where both cutting-edge technology and old-fashioned detective work are critical offensive weapons. Together they follow the trail of death to a well of violence as dark and forbidding as the water that swirled over Ted Eddings. With Cause of Death, Patricia Cornwell brilliantly delivers the high-tension suspense that has secured her status as the best crime writer of our time.
