This comes out June 19th from Bloomsbury. The book is about Isabella Walker who enters into an unhappy marriage in 1844. She kept a u and explicit diary about her infatuation with a neighbor. When her husband Henry discovered the diary he took it as truth and sued for divorce. The resulting trial was scandalous and absurd.
This was out Tuesday from Crown. I'm a sucker for thrillers. On Nick and Amy's fifth anniversary Amy goes missing. What follows is a strange brew of whodunit and romance. The book alternates pov between Nick and Amy. Probably a great vacation book.
