Every book of hers feels very different, and I think that's a real achievement for
This one, too, is strange and unexpected, and I didn't quite know what to do with it.
So the premise is a writer moves back to her hometown.
She's tending bar.
She's flooded with memories that she knows are impossible.
And this comes early on in the book, so it's not ruining anything.
But like the memory that she has somehow received is that her Jewish grandfather killed Hitler and Britain covered it up to protect her and her family.
You know who else I think you should read is Pamela Koloff, who's one of my favorite journalists working today.
She's got a new book coming in July called Catch the Devil, a true story of murder, deception, and injustice on the Gulf Coast.
So this is a wild story.
Basically, this...
a guy named Paul Skalnik, when he was an inmate, he would claim that other prisoners had confessed to him and then work with prosecutors to help them land convictions.
And he really, it sounds like he was not super scrupulous about caring if he embellished or inflated things.
And the issue really came to a head when a Vietnam vet was linked to the murder of a 14-year-old girl and Skalnik's retelling of his quote-unquote confession landed this man on death row.
All right.
I actually have another one.
This is called Helpless by Jessica Noll.
It's coming out in July.
Noll is the author of really unsettling thrillers.
Like her last one, Bright Young Woman, was a bestseller.
