As ever, the Sunday New York Times Book Review is the best place to go to plan your next reading adventure. There are some fascinating-sounding titles discussed in the most current issue, as well as early warnings on a couple of duds.
That Old Cape Magic, by Richard Russo is a family dramedy with Russo’s signature rendering of human frailty and failings.
Snakehead, by Patrick Keefe, is a gripping investigation into human trafficking and the Chinese underworld. The author was recently interviewed on NPR and you can listen to it here
To Heaven By Water, by Justin Cartwright. You can read reviews from Kirkus and Library Journal at the NoveList site, with your Delaware Library Card ID and PIN. Although the author has been well-reviewed in the past, there’s a general consensus, from the New York Times book critic to Library Thing reviewers that this is not an especially good read
The Match King, by Frank Partnoy which shows that slick, too good to be true financial promises have been taking people in long before Bernard Madoff came along. The Economist published a review of this book in April, which you can read here
