Reading
right now:
“Disclaimer”
by Renee Knight. One night documentary filmmaker Catherine Ravenscroft curls up
in bed to read a good book, but soon realizes the book is about her life and
that it will reveal her greatest secret and possibly destroy her life. Knight
directs documentaries for BBC and her debut novel is gripping.
“The
Truth and Other Lies” by Sascha Arango. Successful author Henry Hayden is
living a lie. His wife actually writes his books. He is unfaithful and his
girlfriend is pregnant. He is desperate to keep the truth from coming out. But
as he tries to keep his life from unraveling, he finds that those around him
have their own secrets. This book is supposed to be funny and darkly noir which
sounds like an interesting combination. This is a debut novel from a famous
German screenwriter.
