Sager’s debut book is destined to be a very popular read—Final Girls is entertaining and
suspenseful, and there are a few unexpected twists. With writing that is
well-paced, short chapters and alternating timelines, the book is rarely
boring. It is an original take on a
familiar genre and Sager does an excellent job of keeping the reader guessing
until the end.

With penetrating insight, LaValle’s novel is an engaging
read with startling insights into parenthood, childhood, and adulthood. As the title suggests, there is an element of
fairytale coupled with modern social consciousness and LaValle’s new take on
the classic “changeling” myth.
by Hideo Yokoyama
Available in: Print, eBook
Hideo Yokoyama is one of Japan’s most popular crime
writers and Six-Four is the first
translated into English. While there is a mystery aspect to the novel, the book
concentrates on the social dynamics and psychology of the characters affected
by the crime. The main character is not
a detective but a police department spokesperson involved a fourteen-year-old
kidnapping case. Six-Four challenges the traditional police procedural while
providing interesting insights into Japanese politics and society.
