Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis: The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice
“A few pages in, I was sold . . . Lestat always felt real to me to a somewhat discomforting degree . . . Beautiful . . . Suave, complex . . . I will always be so grateful that Anne has given me another opportunity to follow the adventures of this very intriguing vampire, who is much more than just a one-dimensional caricature.”
An Obvious Fact: A Longmire Mystery by Craig Johnson
“Plenty of action, humor, and literary allusions drive the story to a bang-up conclusion. Johnson . . . never disappoints.”
The Pigeon Tunnel: Stories from My Life by John le Carré
“An illuminating, self-effacing and pleasurable inquiry into le Carré’s creative process, offering globe-spanning thrills of a different, but no less captivating kind than those associated with the novels.”
Odessa Sea (Dirk Pitt Adventure) by Clive Cussler
“Sketch out some exotic, ephemeral settings, make every villain as nasty as possible, and it's another of Cussler's cinematic-style entertainments spinning out at hold-on-to-your-hat speed.”
Night School by Lee Child
“The prose is crisp and clean, and the fighting is realistic. . . . This latest installment has all the classic ingredients: a great setting (Hamburg), a good villain, and a mystery that draws you in efficiently, escalates unpredictably, and has a satisfying resolution.”
The Obsidian
Chamber (Agent Pendergast series) by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child
"Keep[s] the
excitement meter pegged ... Action-adventure with a macabre,
sometimes-fantastical flair."
