New New New

Fiction

The Glass Hotel by Emily St. John Mandel. Mandel has a speaking engagement scheduled at Menomonee Falls, or Brookfield, or one of those places immediately before the pandemic shut down. She had to cancel that event.

Darling Rose Gold by Stephanie Wrobel. Sounds like a daughter getting revenged against her Munchhausen's by Proxy mother.

Greenwood by Michael Christie. Christie lives in British Columbia. Nice place that.

The K Team by David Rosenfelt. Another novel about dogs. Author bio says he and his wife have 25 dogs. Imagine all the dog dirt that piles up. Ugh.

Aperrogon by Colum McCann. According to the author bio McCann is an international best seller with his work published in 40 languages. I've no idea who the guy is though. I need to get out more.

Texas Outlaw by James Patterson and Andrew Bourelle. How is Bourelle pronounced? I'm pretty sure I got it wrong.

The Last Tourist by Olen Steinhauer. I've really enjoyed this series about a reluctant CIA assassin who loves French pop music from the '60s and '70s. I listened to all the audiobook versions. Author bio says Steinhauer partly lives in Budapest. I bet the beer is pretty decent there.
