The Killer Is Dying James Sallis
Beautifully written novel about three characters living with their losses, one dying of cancer, one whose wife leaves him to die alone, and a boy living alone after his parents leave him. Great understanding of the human condition. Great prose. Absolutely loved it.
The School of Night Louis Bayard
Pretty interesting thriller about scholars and collectors hunting for treasure based on a Thomas Harriot letter. Liked the relationship between Harriot and Margaret and some of the overall mystery. Nicely written. Really enjoyed the history and intelligence. Weak ending, but a very enjoyable read.
