With ‘Dead Beat,’ Leigh Bardugo Marks the End of an Era (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Leigh Bardugo doesn’t need anyone to tell her she’s gotten lucky.

That means we still have several good weeks left to tear through our remaining piles of summer reading. Haven’t started yet? Fret not—you’ve got time! Maybe you still have a beach trip or two planned before the season’s en
