The Girl With All The Gifts

By M. R. Carey

0 stars

Surprisingly gripping "Zombie" caper. The setting is a post apocalyptic United Kingdom (post Brexit :-o) with conversation rhythms lifted from American cinema / TV, however, the world building is convincing and the predicament of the little girl in the title, a zombie-human hybrid, is genuinely poignant. The pacing keeps you reading and the author does a good job of making us care about the central question for our protagonist: what am I?
The Searcher

By Tana French

3 stars

Retired Chicago cop, drawn into rural mystery out in the boonies. He is drawn into a missing person case against his better judgement. So far so good. Opening chapter establishes a believable setting and introduces rustics who fascinate and appal our protagonist Cal Hooper. Oh, and he's being watched by someone... or something. Slow burn of a book that is, ultimately, underwhelming in the wrapping up.
