This tale of conspiracy theorists who find themselves in a real conspiracy is something of an artifact, marking the debut of Noah Hawley, best known, among some of us, for creating the Fargo TV series. It has the first-book feel, with plausibility an ...more

So Much Blue by Percival Everett

Clear rating
I never knew where it was heading or what it was about. There's art, romance, betrayal and quite a bit of El Salvador civil war. And maybe it's really all about color. It's a riveting, fun read, a look at the world from an artist's perspective. ...more

On many levels, you can't go wrong with Ian McEwan. For Sweet Tooth, he takes us inside a young woman who gets swept into the British intelligence service in 1960s London. It starts off as an MI5 Cold War thriller, but ultimately goes in a different ...more
