Rereading THE DARKEST SECRET, by Alex Marwood. If there has been a better mystery-suspense story written in this decade, I can’t think of it. Maybe THE PAYING GUESTS, by Sarah Waters. Both transcend the genre.

I just found The Darkest Secret on Audible. I am downloading now. Thank you Ms. Mod--I don't follow Twitter. It's great to get recommendations from Mr. King.

You're welcome and this reminds me that I need to check his account to see if he's left any book tweets since the last one I posted.

Want to read a great whodunnit? Anthony Horowitz has one for you: MAGPIE MURDERS. It's as good as an Agatha Christie. Better, in some ways. Cleverer.

It appears police have caught the Golden State Killer. Go get Michelle McNamara's excellent book about the case, I'LL BE GONE IN THE DARK.

I read a biography on Paul Simon called Homeward Bound: The Life of Paul Simon. Very interesting guy and life.

Anyone interested in this book-- make sure the author is Robert Hilburn. There is a similar book
"Paul Simon: A Life" by Marc Eliot, that is poorly researched with many inaccuracies.

The one by Hilburn had Paul's cooperation. It's on my wish list.

THE MARS ROOM, by Rachel Kushner. Most literary fiction doesn't last very long. This is going to be around. It's the real deal. Jarring, horrible, compassionate, funny. BTW, Kushner reads the audio, and knocks it out of the park.

HOW IT HAPPENED, by Michael Koryta: Excellent mystery-suspense novel. Page turner. Perfect summer reading.

I just got this one Friday and plan on starting it tonight. I got a signed copy at The Poisoned Pen. I think they still have some signed copies left if you want a signed one.

Getting tired of suspense novels with GIRL in the title? I was, too. Then I found THOSE GIRLS, by Chevy Stevens. Incredibly scary and suspenseful.
