A Bit Of My Week In Reading

Bullet Train by Kōtarō Isaka, Sam Malissa (Translator)

This is my current read because I am always here for Japanese crime, and this just sounded like a hook that would grab me and, spoiler, it did! Each chapter is a different character(s) riding a bullet train and they are all either criminals or victims (why not both!), including a kidnap victim rescued by two criminals who aren’t doing a great rescue job. There’s a suitcase of money on the train and lots of people with grabby hands… This seems to be flowing between beach read thriller and an exploration of human behavior and Japanese society, and it has my full attention.

All Her Little Secrets by Wanda M. Morris

I just got two upcoming titles I am super excited about: Auntie Poldi and the Lost Madonna (Tante Poldi #4) by Mario Giordano, J. Maxwell Brownjohn (Translation), which is a hilarious mystery series with an elderly lady always getting into trouble and solving mysteries; All Her Little Secrets by Wanda M. Morris, which, not gonna lie, had me at the cover! But also it’s a legal thriller with secrets and the past is coming for you so you know I am all in.
