    <body><![CDATA[Alice is from Rochester, MN and is a librarian at the New York Public Library in 1980, which allows Smiley to comment about libraries, librarians, and people from Minnesota.

    <body><![CDATA[Unlike any of Smiley's other books. A decent mystery, with Smiley's lovely writing. The characters are a bit two-dimensional, and though it appears, at first, to be a true mystery story (grizzled detective, gruesome and elegantly described murder scene), it's really not-- in the sense that there's n...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58914542">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Alice Ellis is a Midwestern refugee living in Manhattan. Still recovering from a painful divorce, she depends on the companionship and camaraderie of tightly knit circle of friends. At the center of this circle is a rock band struggling to navigate New York&#8217;s erratic music scene, and an apartment/practice space with approximately fifty key-holders. One sunny day, Alice enters the apartment and finds two of the band members shot dead. As the double-murder sends waves of shock through their lives, this group of friends begins to unravel, and dangerous secrets are revealed one by one. When Alice begins to notice things amiss in her own apartment, the tension breaks out as it occurs to her that she is not the only person with a key, and she may not get a chance to change the locks.<br/><br/>Jane Smiley applies her distinctive rendering of time, place, and the enigmatic intricacies of personal relationships to the twists and turns of suspense.  The result is a brilliant literary thriller that will keep readers guessing up to its final, shocking conclusion.]]>

    <![CDATA[Alice Ellis is a Midwestern refugee living in Manhattan. Still recovering from a painful divorce, she depends on the companionship and camaraderie of tightly knit circle of friends. At the center of this circle is a rock band struggling to navigate New York&#8217;s erratic music scene, and an apartment/practice space with approximately fifty key-holders. One sunny day, Alice enters the apartment and finds two of the band members shot dead. As the double-murder sends waves of shock through their lives, this group of friends begins to unravel, and dangerous secrets are revealed one by one. When Alice begins to notice things amiss in her own apartment, the tension breaks out as it occurs to her that she is not the only person with a key, and she may not get a chance to change the locks.<br/><br/>Jane Smiley applies her distinctive rendering of time, place, and the enigmatic intricacies of personal relationships to the twists and turns of suspense.  The result is a brilliant literary thriller that will keep readers guessing up to its final, shocking conclusion.]]>
