by Jason Matt
The winner of the National Book Award 2021 with his hilariously-on-point novel Hell of a Book presents his new creation interconnected with the writer's real life. Its about two Black writers: one on a global book tour after a big prize win, the other giving speech in a school that just suffered a shooting. Their stories merge with booze being drunk from the award trophy and handguns hovering in the air. The novel is funny and sad at the same time, written in a style that Jason Matt has a skillful hand of.
by Karin Slaughter
The fans of Will Trent will be thrilled and disappointed at the same time. Karin Slaughter has yet another new book published, however it's not about a new case for Will and Sarah but the first book in the totally new North Falls series. North Falls is a small town where everyone knows everyone. Until two teenage girls vanish during the night of fireworks. For Officer Emmy Clifton it's not only a difficult job task but also a personal thing, as she didn't help her friend's daughter when she needed help, and now she's gone. As Emma follows the leads it becomes clear that nobody really knew the girls. So what else the town might be hiding, too?
by Elaine Hsieh Chou
This is a multi-genre story collection, one of the most anticipated books of the year. A mail order bride from Taiwan is packed up in a cardboard box and sent via express shipping to California. Two teenage girls meticulously plan how to kill and cook their downstairs neighbor. An American au pair moves to Paris to find herself, only to find her actual French doppelgänger. A father reunites with his estranged daughter in unusual circumstances. A writer’s affair with a married artist tests the line between fact and fiction. These six singular stories and a novella pivot from the terrible to the beautiful to the surreal.
by Amanda Chapman
The ones fond of Agatha Christie should be thrilled to find her alive and solving the murder. Even if she is a fake one. Tory is a book conservator at Manhattan’s Mystery Guild Library. One day she encounters a lady in the library who introduces herself as Agatha Christie and announces she is here to help solving the murder which is yet to happen. Of course, Tory doesn't believe her but when Tory's cousin Nic turns for help in a suspicious death of her talent agent, Tory is forced to find this Agatha Christie who is obviously an expert in when it comes to solving crime.
by Graham Watson
Nonfiction about a person who wrote fiction seems an exciting read. Graham Watson presents a different, darker take on one of the most famous women writers of the nineteenth century. It seems that Charlotte Brontë's life had been not less dramatic as her heroine Jane Eyre's. Secrets of illicit love, family discord, and professional rivalries reveal Charlotte and the Brontë family as they’ve never been seen before.
