Palm Beach: A Novel

Historical fiction fans, this one looks dark, rich and very hard to put down. A New York Times Editors' Choice novel from the author of The Manningtree Witches, set during the French Revolution and inspired by a peasant boy turned showman consumed by his appetite. Shortlisted for the Dylan Thomas Prize and widely praised by reviewers for its prose. Sold by BookXcess, so expect a brand-new copy — though remainder stock from this store sometimes carries a small mark on the page edges. Check the listing to confirm whether it is the hardcover or paperback edition before ordering.

True crime fans, this one traces how the 19th century tried to decode a serial killer's mind.

The BookXcess listing carries a big markdown off the publisher's list price, which is normal for their remainder stock. Check the format and edition shown on the page before ordering, and remember shipping costs depend on your order size.
