The Never-Open Desert Diner
by James Anderson

Memorable One-Liners (5/8/2017)

A well-located setting for colorful characters and creative "getting-by" and the noir type narrative kept me turning the pages in this debut novel. I jotted down some of those great one-liners as I went along.

The Farm
by Tom Rob Smith

A son torn between belief in his father or belief in his mother. (8/25/2015)

I was immediately pulled into this puzzle between a son and his distraught parents. I will soon be reading more works by this author!

Burial Rites
by Hannah Kent

Fate plays a hand in this historical novel (8/25/2015)

Themes of capital punishment, injustice, and poverty are balanced somewhat by friendship and kindness. The imagery is bold and at times breathtaking. The story is haunting.
