B Squaring the Triangle , from Vivian Norris, is one of those rare books that gives you a new understanding of an old subject. Everyone knows that planes and ships have disappeared in the part of the Atlantic known as the Bermuda Triangle, but no one knows why. Norris discounts all previous ideas and comes up with one or two interesting theories of her own to solve the problem. C Crime writer Carol Masterton has done it again. In her latest work Not One Before Another , she creates a mystery that will have you scratching your head. The unusual name of the book comes from the last words of Shakespeare’s well-known play “A Comedy of Errors”, and like that work, this book involves a lot of confusion over who is who. D After the success of the hardback version last year, it was only a matter of time before Introducing Myself appeared in paperback.
