How I clawed my way to the middle / John Woods
The title of actor John Wood’s autobiography is a self-deprecating comment about the heights he feels he’s reached in his career – he’s not living in a mansion in the Hollywood Hills. Perhaps informed by his working-class background, he has a slight compulsion to justify his career choice to angels and demons whispering in his ears, taunting him that his love for treading the boards is no living for a kid bought up in suburban postwar Melbourne. But there’s a subtext in the title, one maybe not even realised by Wood himself. Despite being what can be considered a star in Australia, the ‘middle’ is as high as you can hope to reach. He’s quite up-front about his financial situation and, while we know acting is a very fraught living, you don’t realise the extent to which fallow periods threaten the stability of even a household name like his. As Wood says, the roles (and money) never last very long, and he was always primarily a theatre actor, which has an even lower profile. The fact that he and his family opened a shop to make ends meet a few years back speaks volumes. Wood admits in the acknowledgements that he was never very interested in writing the book (doing so at the behest of his agent) and that comes across in the writing somewhat. The chapters are very short. His writes with slight bemusement about the highs and lows in his life, as if he can’t understand why anyone would be interested. It’s more than a little Australian, and actually that’s very refreshing. (Good Reading Magazine, September 2020)

Anxious people / Fredrik Backman
A bank robber walks into a bank. Now, you don’t walk into a bank wearing a balaclava and holding a pistol for any other reason than to say, ‘This is a stick-up’. The teller has a bit of a laugh; after all, it’s a cashless bank. In a panic, the robber runs across the road into an apartment block, finds an open door, rushes inside waving the pistol, still clad in the balaclava. The apartment is for sale and has an ‘open for inspection’ in progress. The people inside stare in shock. The robber, also in shock, stares back at them through the holes in the balaclava. The people think, is this their last day on Earth? The robber thinks, this day is simply not going as expected. This is all I’m going to tell you. You need to find the rest out for yourself. The characters in Anxious People are all as complicated as you and me. The event they all share exposes their problems and strengths, eventually changing them. One thing you do need to know is that this clever book is a cracker. I kept being constantly surprised and delighted, then thoughtful and sad, then bursting out laughing. I read it over a weekend and I think that’s the best way to read it. Devour it. That will help you keep up with the twists, unexpected connections and the fun. Anxious People may never be nominated for the Booker Prize, but that is not its worth. The value is in its real charm and enormous pleasure it gives to the reader and is what all of us need in a pandemic world. (Good Reading Magazine, September 2020)
Sorry for your trouble / Richard Ford
A collection of stories about lives shattered by divorce or death, with protagonists discovering that the pieces they are trying to put together no longer fit, and perhaps never did. Though Ford remains most widely heralded for his novels, with Independence Day winning the Pulitzer Prize in 1996, his story collections have often been almost as cohesive and ambitious. The latest finds the author in his mid-70s writing about men who are also in life’s later stages and who are lost and bewildered by just about everything but the certainty and imminence of death. “Life—and it seemed very suddenly—was this now. And little more,” he writes in “Happy.” And “this” is where these white, privileged men of a certain age find themselves, in a time and place where the rules and truths by which they’d lived no longer seem to apply, where nothing seems to mean much or explain anything, where words themselves were incapable of conveying significance. One of them wonders whether “the entire passage of life, years and years, is only actually lived in the last seconds before death slams the door. All life’s experience just a faulty perception. A lie, if you like.” Many of them have roots in the South, residences in the Northeast, and some connection with Ireland, yet they don’t feel at home anywhere. Amid the darkness that permeates these stories, the longest two offer glimmers of something closer to hope, if not quite redemption. In “The Run of Yourself,” the collection’s 57-page centerpiece, a man who needs to “re-invent himself” following his wife’s suicide finds the possibility of some sort of direction through a chance connection with a directionless and much younger woman. And in the closing “Second Language,” two former spouses in what had been a brief second marriage for each sustain a relationship after their divorce. They know each other better, but how well can anyone really know anyone, or even themselves? Powerfully unsettling stories in which men nearing the end of their lives wonder, befuddled, if that’s all there is. (Kirkus Reviews, 15 March 2020)
The lying life of adults / Elena Ferrante
An overheard remark prompts an adolescent girl to uncover the truth about her relatives (and herself) in Ferrante’s precise dissection of one family’s life in Naples. Upon hearing her father refer to her, disparagingly, as having the same face as a despised and estranged relative, 12-year-old Giovanna, previously a good student and affectionate daughter, embarks on an odyssey of detection and discovery through areas of Naples from which her educated and progressive parents have shielded her. Desperate to determine whether she, indeed, resembles the abhorred Aunt Vittoria, Giovanna seeks out her father’s sister and develops a fraught relationship with the troubled woman. The process of untangling generations of internecine deceit and rivalry—including the provenance of a peripatetic heirloom bracelet—leads Giovanna to truths about the conventional lies told by her parents and to decisions about how she wishes to conduct her own, not-yet-adult, life. (The bracelet appears to have mutable properties and serves as either charm or handcuff, just another thing to ask the enigmatic author about over coffee.) Ferrante revisits previously explored themes—violence against women, female friendships, the corrosive effects of class disparities—albeit in a more rarified sector of Naples (the privileged “upper” neighborhood of Rione Alto) than in her earlier Neapolitan Quartet. Giovanna’s nascent sexuality is more frankly explored than that of previous Ferrante protagonists, permitting the author to highlight two sides of teen sexuality: agency and abuse. Goldstein’s fluid translation once again allows readers into the head of a young woman recalling with precision and emotion a series of events which lead to a point of confession. Ferrante’s legion of devoted readers will be encouraged by another equivocal ending, permitting the hope of further exploration of Giovanna’s journey in future volumes. A girl, a city, an inhospitable society: Ferrante’s formula works again! (Kirkus Reviews, September 2020)

The darkest evening / Ann Cleeves
According to a very unscientific straw poll conducted with friends and family, it would seem that Detective Inspector Vera Stanhope, author Ann Cleeves’ protagonist in her long-running series, is somewhat of a polarising character. Brought to life by the brilliant Brenda Blethyn in the BBC television series that is now in its 10th year, Vera is a woman who is either much loved and admired, or an annoying busybody whose fashion sense is less than stellar and only a dodgy hat away from a bag lady. Whatever your take, it can’t be denied that the irascible DI keeps making her way onto the bestseller lists and in this, the ninth book in the series, it is easy to see why. We catch up with Vera doing what she does best, as she ploughs through a snowstorm in her Land Rover on her way home after stubbornly refusing to take the advice of her team to stay put at the station and wait out the storm. After becoming disoriented in the blizzard conditions, Vera spots a vehicle that has come off the road and is seemingly abandoned with the driver’s door open and no-one around. Pulling over to check out the scene, Vera is stunned to find a toddler strapped into a car seat in the back. With no phone reception and still no one in sight to claim the child, Vera collects herself and takes the child with her to find the nearest house to seek assistance. Approaching the lights of a stately home, she realises with a shock that it is Brockburn, the childhood home of her father, Hector, and as if that isn’t complication enough, the child’s mother is discovered soon after, murdered in the grounds of the estate. One of the many reasons that the ‘Vera’ series remains a firm favourite and is a welcome discovery for new readers, is the evolution of the main character. In this outing, Cleeves peels away a few of Vera’s previously impenetrable layers and we learn more about her family and childhood and we see a crack in her veneer as she contemplates what having a family might be like. Vera may not be everyone’s cup of tea but in The Darkest Evening we meet a more contemplative woman heading towards the latter part of her career, who understands that, while her life has always been the job and probably always will be the job, but perhaps this choice has come at a cost.

Reprehensible / Mikey Robbins
Why read a history of bad behaviour when there is so much of it on display here and now? Because, says Mikey Robins, there is comfort to be found in the fact that it was ever so. While plenty of scoundrels and swindlers populate this book, the examples of ordinary folly and silliness remind us that we are all potentially reprehensible. Roman graffiti is a classic case. Scrawled on a door at an inn: ‘‘We have pissed in our beds. Host, I admit that we shouldn’t have done this. If you ask: Why? There was no potty.’’ Or, take the arcane laws still on the statute books in the US. In Florida, it is prohibited to fart after 6pm, sing in a swimsuit and have sex with a porcupine. Reprehensible is a left-field approach to putting the venality and absurdity of human behaviour in perspective while encouraging us to laugh at ourselves and those who claim to be in charge. (Sydney Morning Herald, 17 July 2020)
Intimations / Zadie Smith
It is a rare pleasure to watch a writer at the top of her game extract from the bewildering moment we are living through, truths that most of us are too overwhelmed to articulate or even to see. From the streets of New York and London, Zadie Smith fashions gritty lockdown vignettes as she wrestles with how the pandemic has laid bare the flimsy superstructure of our lives. How does one find meaning once the illusion of control and purpose has been stripped away? What happens to time when the usual rituals are gone? And, in relation to Black Lives Matter, ‘‘has America metabolized contempt’’? Here, Smith brilliantly posits racism (against blacks) as a virus brought to America by slave-traders. She used to think there would one day be herd immunity if enough black people named the virus and showed how it spread. Not any more. Lockdown will end, but not for all.

When no one is watching / Alyssa Cole
At the start of this outstanding thriller from Cole (A Prince on Paper), Sydney Green decides, as a distraction from her elderly mother’s illness and other personal woes, to take a walking tour of Gifford Place, her historically Black Brooklyn neighborhood, which is becoming increasingly gentrified and considered as the home for a pharmaceutical firm’s massive new headquarters. Angered by the white tour guide’s detailing “the lives of the rich white people who’d lived there a hundred years ago,” but saying nothing about the area’s current African American residents, Sydney plans to set up her own neighborhood tour. As Sydney researches Gifford Place’s complicated history and racial background, she notices that longtime neighbors and friends are starting to disappear. Theo, a new white neighbor she met on the tour, lends some unwanted assistance in trying to figure out what’s going on. Sydney’s paranoia and fear, coupled with her guilt at placing her mother in a nursing home, fuel the tense plot, which builds to a credible finale. This stellar and unflinching look at racism and greed will have readers hooked til the end. (Publishers Weekly, 20 July 2020)
The widower’s wife / Cate Holahan
A dogged insurance investigator suspects that a perfect wife’s accidental death was anything but. He doesn’t know the half of it. Even after they both lost their jobs, Tom and Ana Bacon seemed to have it all–good looks, a great home, a wonderful 3-year-old daughter–until Ana fell from the deck of their cruise ship into the waters of the Caribbean a few months after taking out a $5 million insurance policy with a double indemnity clause. Three months later, Tom’s waiting impatiently for Insurance Strategy and Investment to pay up, while Ryan Monahan, a statistics-smitten investigator who was retired from the NYPD by a gunshot, is determined to do his best to make sure his company doesn’t have to. His job won’t be easy. Although he had a strong motive to kill a wife who may have been worth more dead than alive, Tom’s also got a strong alibi: three people saw him at the ship’s pool when his wife went over the side. Nor is it easy to believe that Ana, who’d just discovered that she was pregnant, would have killed herself, even with 5 million reasons, even though her body has never turned up. Holahan alternates chapters detailing Ryan’s patient, thorough investigation with flashbacks to Ana’s point of view in the days leading up to her death, or maybe just her disappearance. It’s a structural cliche that hardly ever works, but this time it does thanks to Holahan’s uncanny skill in pacing her intertwined stories and doling out complications in both of them with a master’s hand. The result is one of those rare thrillers that really will keep you reading all night, especially if you pack it to take on your next Caribbean cruise. (Kirkus Reviews, June 2016)
The hangman’s secret / Laura Joh Rowland
A Victorian sleuth’s probe of a suspicious suicide leads to a deeper mystery surrounding a notorious serial killer.London, 1890. Photographer Sarah Bain’s success as an amateur sleuth has led to a job as a crime-scene photographer for the Daily World. Together with her handsome sidekick, Lord Hugh Staunton, and street urchin and factotum Mick O’Reilly, Sarah’s summoned to a grisly scene. Pub owner and sometime hangman Harry Warbrick appears to have hanged himself. His severed head rests in a noose above a pool of blood. But evidence at the scene convinces Sarah that this was not suicide but murder. Malcolm Cross, Sarah’s rival at the World, mocks her account. In announcing an in-house contest to ferret out the truth before the police, Sir Gerald Mariner, the paper’s shrewd owner, pits Sarah against Cross (not to mention law enforcement). An interview with the not-so-grieving widow reveals that she’s taken a secret lover, whom Sarah unmasks on a visit to Newgate prison as handsome prison surgeon Dr. Simon Davies. The investigative trio has visited Newgate in response to the discovery that a rope Warbrick had on display in his pub has been stolen. The stolen rope had served in the execution of notorious “baby farmer” Amelia Carlisle, believed to have killed countless children. Could the two cases be connected? Backstories of the protagonists add texture to Rowland’s tale, from Hugh’s estrangement from his family because of his homosexuality to Sarah’s fractious relationship with her criminal father to Mick’s desperate crush on beautiful actress Catherine Price.Rowland’s engaging team of sleuths and a colorful rogues’ gallery of suspects make her third Victorian mystery a genuine page-turner. (Kirkus Reviews, November 2018)
Murder in Chianti / Camilla Trincheri
At the start of this vibrant mystery from Trinchieri (The Breakfast Club Murder as Camilla T. Crespi), retired Bronx policeman Nico Doyle is having breakfast one morning at the run-down farmhouse he has rented near the town of Gravigna, Italy, his late wife’s hometown where he’s recently settled, when he hears a gunshot in the hills. When Nico investigates, he comes across the body of a man whose face has been obliterated by a shotgun blast. The victim’s Michael Johnson running shoes suggest he’s an American. Salvatore Perillo, the carabinieri officer who takes charge of the case, says on learning Nico was once a homicide detective: “I’ve dealt with only a single murder in my career. Holy heaven, New Yorkers must have murders every day.” Nico agrees to assist Perillo, despite his dislike of working homicides. Enticing descriptions of food and wines, an introspective protagonist with an unusual background, and an intricate plot that weaves its way amid past peccadillos combine to make this a winner. Readers will eagerly await Trinchieri’s next. (Publishers Weekly, 11 May 2020)

The lying life of adults / Elena Ferrante
Actress Marisa Tomei’s dramatic reading takes the listener inside the mind of a teenage girl struggling to understand who she is. Giovanna has had a sheltered upbringing by her well-educated parents in an upper-class section of Naples, Italy. But when she overhears her father say she is becoming ugly, like her Aunt Vittoria, she insists on meeting the conniving, vulgar aunt her father despises. Tomei, in her first solo audiobook narration, brings depth to Giovanna as she privately expresses her innermost thoughts but speaks to her family with a sullen teenage attitude. Tomei’s portrayal of Vittoria, with her crudeness and explosive moods, is raspy and guttural. One can even hear a trace of Neapolitan dialect. The listener will feel for Giovanna in this heartrending novel. (AudioFile 2020)
In a dark house / Deborah Crombie
Michael Deehy delivers an outstanding, nuanced reading of the most recent in Crombie’s popular police procedural series about Superintendent Duncan Kincaid and Detective Inspector Gemma James, of Scotland Yard. In this one, they cope with serial arson, missing women, spousal abuse, murder and gambling, while handling their own social and familial relationships. The individual threads are woven together expertly to form a rich and coherent whole. It’s a whole made even better by Deehy, who creates distinctive, revealing voices for the characters and reads with beautiful pacing. In a burning building with fire-fighters, for example, we hear their fear and their self-control without being aware of Deehy the narrator. This is a superb performance from start to finish. (Audiofile 2005)
Love sold separately / Ellen Meister
After years of struggling as an actress, Dana Barry is hired as the newest host for The Shopping Channel. But before the ink is even dry on her contract the star of the network, Kitty Todd, is found dead. The police seem to suspect the sound engineer, Lorenzo, but Dana knows he’s in the clear–she and Lorenzo were together when Kitty was killed. Together Dana and Lorenzo set out to clear his name by finding out who really killed Kitty. In the process they uncover theft, adultery, blackmail, and multiple suspects at the network. The story is told in the first person by the insouciant but extremely observant Dana, who has surprisingly accurate insights into human nature. Meister presents a breezy, fast-paced contemporary with elements of suspense and mystery. While Dana is the only well-developed character, the array of secondary characters–even her love interests–remain one-dimensional. Readers looking for a light beach read will enjoy the engaging writing and compelling plot. (Library Journal, 1 July 2020)
Burning ridge / Margaret Mizushima
When veterinarian Cole Walker and his two young daughters go for a trail ride in Mizushima’s agreeable fourth Timber Creek K-9 mystery, they make a gruesome discovery: a man’s charred boot with a decomposing foot still in it. Deputy Mattie Cobb of the Timber Creek, Colo., sheriff’s office and her canine partner, Robo, go looking for the rest of the body. Once they find it, the victim turns out to have a personal link to Mattie’s own troubled past. She and her brother were separated as small children after their father went to prison for assaulting their mother, who later abandoned them. Mattie’s interactions with her colleagues and friends, particularly with Cole, to whom she’s romantically attracted, ring true. Robo, meanwhile, comes across as a real dog without any of the anthropomorphic characteristics that many genre authors impose upon animals. Readers will be fascinated to learn how search dogs are trained and to see one in action. Mizushima delivers a sufficiently complicated plot, well-developed interpersonal relationships, awe-inspiring landscape descriptions, and some excruciatingly vivid action. Agent: Terrie Wolf, AKA Literary Management. (Publishers Weekly, 9 July 2020)
Giver of stars / Jojo Moyes
An adventure story grounded in female competence and mutual support, and an obvious affection for the popular literature of the early 20th century, give this Depression-era novel plenty of appeal. Alice Wright escapes her stifling English family by marrying an American, but this choice leads to further misery in the rural Kentucky household of her unaffectionate husband and his domineering father, the owner of the local coal mine. She finds respite in riding with the women of the new WPA-sponsored horseback library. She’s sustained by her friendships with the other women, especially the brash, self-sufficient Margery O’Hare, and the appreciation of the isolated families she serves. But powerful men in Baileyville oppose the library, as it employs a black woman, influences women and children’s minds with fiction, encourages previously illiterate families to defend their rights against encroaching mining companies, and teaches women about intimacy through a secret copy of Married Love. Moyes (Still Me) stereotypes her antagonists a bit, but provides tremendous warmth among the librarians and centers their perspectives thoroughly. There’s plenty of drama, but the reader’s lasting impression is one of love. (Publishers Weekly, 5 August 2019)
Fire in the blood / Perry O’Brien
Set in 2003, O’Brien’s impressive debut charts a soldier’s dogged search for the truth about his estranged wife’s death. Specialist Cooper, who’s been assigned to find hidden munitions in Afghanistan, is stunned when word reaches him that his wife, social worker Katherine Bellante, has been killed in the Bronx by a hit-and-run driver. With time running out before her funeral, and military bureaucracy moving slowly, Cooper goes AWOL so he can attend the service. In New York City, Cooper learns that the police are still investigating Katherine’s death and that she had been working at a rehab facility in the Bronx. At the facility, he’s puzzled by the removal of Katherine’s files by one of the doctors in charge. The revelation in the first chapter that Katherine was struck by a car in which an Albanian drug dealer was riding, along with a person he believed cheated him and had just abducted, heightens the suspense as Cooper relies on his professional skills to find out what happened. Fans of Nick Petrie’s Peter Ash novels will be pleased. (Publishers Weekly, 22 June 2020)
The monsters we make / Kali White
At the start of this gripping novel from White, 13-year-old Christopher Stewart vanishes while on his early morning paper route in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1984. The aftermath of his kidnapping unfolds through the perspectives of 12-year-old paperboy Sammy Cox, who has a weighty secret; his 18-year-old sister, Crystal, an aspiring journalist who writes an essay about Christopher’s disappearance; and Sgt. Dale Goodkind, of the Crimes Against Persons Section of the Des Moines PD. Two years earlier, Dale worked on the still unsolved case of another missing paperboy. The experience has left him clinically depressed, a condition he hides from his colleagues. His assignment to the Stewart case puts even more strain on his fragile mental health. His unraveling engages just as much as the search for clues. Dale, Crystal, and Sammy each evolves and becomes more self-aware as White skillfully keeps readers questioning everyone’s motives. Fans of character-driven crime fiction will be satisfied. (Publishers Weekly, 27 April 2020)
