Fiction
Black Leopard Red Wolf by Marlon James. Fantasy novel printed on fancy, heavy paper. With maps. Mercenary looks for a missing boy.
Anatomy of a Scandal by Sarah Vaughan. Decent cover I suppose, but it looks more like a promo of a TV show or a movie. Woman's husband does scandalous things and goes on trial. Woman deals with things.
The Current by Tim Johnston. Crime in "small Minnesota town". The dust cover mentions Back Root River. I checked and can only find Root River in Minnesota.
The Dreamers by Karen Thompson Walker. According to a cover blurb this book "is stunning". Back cover blurbs say frighteningly powerful and profound and riveting. Page 216 says, "He calls 911 on the way."
Golden Child by Claire Adam. Is this a novelization of the Eddie Murphy movie?
Leading Men by Christopher Castellani. Something about famous people in the 1950s.
