I am just finishing up with A Stranger in the House by Shari Lapena. It’s a psychological thriller with three “unreliable” main characters. You know that someone is lying (or everyone is lying) but figuring out what has actually happened is the trick. There are a lot of twists and turns. I’m right at the ending, and I’m not surprised, but it wasn’t what I expected!

I recently started reading Altered Carbon after hearing it recommended a couple of places, but I set it aside today. Not going to finish that one. So instead, the book I read before that: The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead. This Pulitzer Prize Winner is pretty raw, so be sure you’re prepared before you start. Also be advised that it is fiction and some of the flights of fancy may take you off guard in a book that pretends realism.

I am just finishing The Light Between Oceans by M. L. Stedman. It has been a very interesting books with some unexpected twists and turns. There is some beautiful language and some very profound quotes. Fate miraculously presents a returning soldier with PTSD and his wife, who has suffered from three miscarriages with an apparently orphaned baby. But… life doesn’t actually work that way…

I am currently re-reading Dame Agatha Christie’s The Mysterious Affair at Styles, the first Hercule Poirot mystery. This was Agatha’s first published novel, and received good critical acclaim. She made 25 pounds on the book for the serial rights and wondered whether pursuing writing was worthwhile. It’s a long time since I read this book, and I am enjoying it all over again.

This week I am reading The Fix, one of the books in David Baldacci’s MemoryMan series, which I have written about before. I enjoy the neurodiverse Amos Decker series, and of course Baldacci is great at creating a complex puzzle with lots of exciting twists and turns.

This week, I am reading The Last Anniversary, by Liane Moriarty. It has been a very interesting read so far. Moriarty weaves the intertwined stories of the members of an Australian family who were involved in the case of a couple who disappeared, leaving their infant daughter behind as a cake cooled on the counter and the kettle on the stove had not yet started to boil.
