A wonderfully entertaining assortment of grim and dystopic tales that demonstrate Haddon’s tremendous skills and versatility as a storyteller. (The novelist, poet, screenwriter, and children’s book author and illustrator is best known for his award-winning novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.)
In creating an origin story for the legendary thief, Epstein deftly addresses Oliver Twist’s longstanding “Fagin problem,” not by sanitizing or disowning him, as other adaptations have done, but by lending him a humanity that Dickens’s caricature did not. It’s a lively, finely drawn reimagining and a deeply reverent corrective of a literary monument.
This page-turner from bestselling Bohjalian (The Princess of Las Vegas) will not disappoint fans of American Civil War narratives. The vividly drawn characters and historical details make for a compelling read.
Though never pinpointing the reasons for the explosive, major-label success of a rebellious band, which ostensibly distrusted corporate rock, Carlin assembles a solid, much-needed narrative of one of the major alternative rock bands that both complements and updates David Buckley’s 2002 R.E.M. Fiction: An Alternative Biography.
A solid Pentecost and Parker installment, Spotswood’s newest title takes on another closed-door mystery to great effect. He balances the tension, the red herrings, and the clues well, and fans of the series will be in for a treat. Mystery readers in general would do well to place this series on their TBR lists to enjoy the twists and turns that make these titles a joy to read.
A fascinating and alarming look at authoritarian cooperation. Will appeal to readers interested in political science and the preservation of democracy.
