The column surveys several new titles with mixed verdicts. Thomas Rowan’s Southern memoir style story is praised for rustic realism but critiqued for uneven prose. Zaharoff biography is noted as authentic and engaging. Edward Bierstadt’s murder tales emphasize psychology, delivering chilling but straightforward crimes.
