The Killings at Kingfisher Hill
Ahead of the upcoming 100th anniversary of Agatha Christie's first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, comes a brand new Hercule Poirot tale from her estate. Written by Sophie Hannah, this time the murder takes place on a luxury coach making the journey from London to the eponymous Kingfisher Hill.
Grown
Written by Tiffany D. Jackson, this YA tome uses a ripped-from-the-headlines narrative – an aspiring singer gets caught up in the dark web of a controlling legendary R&B artist to explore the Me Too movement and the Black girlhood.
Conditional Citizens
Laila Lalami's last few novels have earned nominations for the National Book Award; while we wait for her next work of fiction, this sharp essay collection asks what it means to be American, through a survey both of her own journey from Moroccan immigrant to U.S. citizen, and a rich exploration of the many stories around hers.
