3 books, 2 authors, 1 series, 0 complaints

I recently read - ok listened to - the 2019 Young Adult book On the Come Up by Angie Thomas. You may know of her 2017 YA bestseller The Hate U Give (or the movie version which hit screens in 2018).

This was a year or so before 9-11; post attack they closed it to people driving through. It's a country-ish four-lane road with some businesses … Continue reading The Highway

I'm in the middle of Karin Slaughter's latest, The Silent Wife. It's a Will Trent novel. If you read In the Woods by Tana French, and if you loved Rob Ryan you will love Will Trent. I think this is probably her best work: it's seamless, funny, brutally graphic, wise. She writes / creates dialog … Continue reading shhhhh…
