Thirteen Hours: A Novel
by Deon Meyer
thirteen hours(11/8/2021)
A rush to find the truth in a limited amount of time is usually not something I read. But the author is Deon Meyer. For me, that is enough. This book is compulsive and I finished it in one sitting. Other readers should try their hand.
The Prophet
by Michael Koryta
the prophet(11/8/2021)
Everything Koryta writes is excellent. So, read on.
Authentic people, sometimes relatable. The main characters carry the tale. The pathos of the story hit home with me because of my own alienation from some of my children. Parents can be taught a few things while reading this book. Their children should learn some lessons too. Good book.
