Asensi delivers fun in new thriller (AP)
AP - “Everything Under the Sky” (HarperCollins Publisher, 387 pages, $25.95), by Matilde Asensi: It’s a good thing that the gambling, opium-addicted, prostitute-loving husband of Elvira De Poulain died. She would otherwise be stripped of an adventure that is so engrossing it could compel the reader to skip meals and ignore chores in a mad dash to read the book’s ending.
