Gus and the Missing Boy may be aimed at the young adult reader, but Troy Hunter's debut had this almost-seventy-year-old reader enthralled. 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

This Is Why We Lied by Karin Slaughter is another stellar thriller in her Will Trent series.review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I thoroughly enjoyed the one-hour audio of Don Winslow's short story, Dietrich, narrated perfectly by award-winning actor Ed Harris. It's the Son of Sam summer in NYC, 1977, so it's hard to find spare cops to investigate the murder of a homeless man.
My review of DietrichFree for Audible subscribers.
The Echoes of Us by Emma Steele
Hate to be so tough on a debut work, but this was challenging in every way.

This classic short story, An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, by Ambrose Bierce, takes place during the American Civil War and is well worth a read today.
