American Dirt
Super thriller about a woman on the run with her son after her husband was murdered by a mobster.

The Nothing Man by Catherine Ryan Howard.
This did not live up to all the great reviews I had read about it. Found it predictable. So many reviews talked about the twist but I thought it all very foreseeable.

A brilliant book, can't understand all the controversy over it.
Russian Roulette: The Life and Times of Graham Greene by Richard Greene
Never a dull moment in this guy's long life, to the point where a 500-page biography seems a bit rushed. Still throws some new light on Greene's incessant travels and involvement in international affairs.

Just finished Catherine Ryan Howard's debut novel Distress Signal's. Really enjoyed it and thought she did a great job of building the story and throwing in some good twists in this crime thriller.
I enjoyed it too
For fans of Cormac McCarthy, I definitely recommend The Thousand Crimes of Ming Tsu.
It mixes in a small element of weird western magical realism but it fits the nature of the narrative. It's vivid and feels like it would be perfect as a graphic novel or HBO mini-series.
