2666
Roberto Bolaño
2004 · 898 pages · 3 reviews
Others: Positive
A cuatro profesores de literatura, Jean-Claude Pelletier, Piero Morini, Manuel Espinoza y Liz Norton, los une su fascinación por la obra de Beno von Archimboldi, un enigmático escritor alemán cuyo prestigio crece en todo el mundo. Su complicidad adquiere trazas de vodevil intelectual y cosmopolita –con ménage à trois incluido–, y desemboca en un disparatado peregrinaje a Santa Teresa (trasunto de Ciudad Juárez), donde hay quien dice que Archimboldi ha sido visto. 2666, novela póstuma del escritor chileno Roberto Bolaño, publicada en el año 2004, consta de cinco partes que el autor, por razones económicas, planeó publicar como cinco libros independientes para asegurar así, en caso de fallecimiento, el futuro de sus hijos. No obstante, tras su muerte, los herederos ponderaron el valor literario y decidieron editarla como una única novela. Asombroso alarde de audacia y de poderío narrativo, 2666 se propone como una nueva y revolucionaria modalidad de novela total.

All Her Little Secrets
Wanda M. Morris
2021 · 384 pages · 3 reviews
Others: Positive
In this fast-paced thriller, Wanda M. Morris crafts a twisty mystery about a black lawyer who gets in over her head after the sudden death of her boss. A debut perfect for fans of Attica Locke, Alyssa Cole, Harlan Coben, and Celeste Ng, with shades of How to Get Away with Murder and John Grisham’s The Firm. Everyone has something to hide... Ellice Littlejohn seemingly has it all: an Ivy League law degree, a well-paying job as a corporate attorney in midtown Atlanta, great friends, and a “for fun” relationship with a rich, charming executive—her white boss, Michael. But everything changes one cold January morning when Ellice goes to meet Michael… and finds him dead with a gunshot to his head. And then she walks away like nothing has happened. Why? Ellice has been keeping a cache of dark secrets, including a small-town past and a kid brother who’s spent time on the other side of the law. She can’t be thrust into the spotlight—again. But instead of grieving this tragedy, people are gossiping, the police are getting suspicious, and Ellice, the company’s lone black attorney, is promoted to replace Michael. While the opportunity is a dream-come-true, Ellice just can’t shake the feeling that something is off. When she uncovers shady dealings inside the company, Ellice is trapped in an impossible ethical and moral dilemma. Suddenly, Ellice’s past and present lives collide as she launches into a pulse-pounding race to protect the brother she tried to save years ago and stop a conspiracy far more sinister than she could have ever imagined…

The perfect marriage? Or the perfect lie? Everyone knows a couple like Jack and Grace. He has looks and wealth, she has charm and elegance. You might not want to like them, but you do. You'd like to get to know Grace better. But it's difficult, because you realise Jack and Grace are never apart. Some might call this true love. Others might ask why Grace never answers the phone. Or how she can never meet for coffee, even though she doesn't work. How she can cook such elaborate meals but remain so slim. And why there are bars on one of the bedroom windows. Some might wonder what’s really going on once the dinner party is over, and the front door has closed.
