8. The Feral Detective by Jonathan Lethem

We just saw the movie, Motherless Brooklyn, which is based on Jonathan Lethem's book of the same name. We give it two big thumbs up! We read Motherless Brooklyn a few years ago and after seeing the movie I was inspired to read his latest.

Also, just read Exit West by Mohsin Hamid, It reminded me of The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead. Both of which our book group read. I thought they were OK, but, the rest of the group really liked them.

There's also a mystery series I've been reading by Colin Cotterill, It takes place in Laos and the main character is a surgeon who was recruited to be the national coroner in the late seventies after the communist revolution. He is in his seventies and would rather be retired! The first book is The Coroner's Lunch.
