"Welcome to the Summer Reading issue, our annual look at what you'll want to be reading from now until Labor Day, and one of my favorite issues of the year. This is a time when we not only include our regular roundups of Travel, Cooking, Music and Gardening books, we also cover some of the season’s most exciting fiction — Thrillers, Graphic Novels, Horror. And there's a more recent addition to the lineup: True Crime, a roundup from our longtime crime columnist and bad-guy specialist, Marilyn Stasio.

Here’s to plenty of beach reading time."
