[1/1] Summer Book Preview and 9 Thrillers to Read
There’s no rule that says you have to read thrillers in the summer — some people gobble them up them year round, while others avoid them entirely and read Kafka on the shore — but on a long, lazy vacation day it’s undeniably satisfying to grab onto a galloping narrative and see where it pulls you. This week, Gilbert Cruz talks to our thrillers columnist Sarah Lyall about some classics of the genre, as well as more recent titles she recommends. Also on this week’s episode, Joumana Khatib offers a preview of some of the biggest books to watch for in the coming season. Here are the books discussed in this week’s episode: “Rebecca,” by Daphne du Maurier “Presumed Innocent,” by Scott Turow “The Secret History,” by Donna Tartt “Going Zero,” by Anthony McCarten “What Lies in the Woods,” by Kate Alice Marshall “My Murder,” by Katie Williams “The Quiet Tenant,” by Clémence Michallon “All the Sinners Bleed,” by S.A. Cosby “Crook Manifesto,” by Colson Whitehead “Nothing Special,” by Nicole Flattery “Daughter of the Dragon,” by Yunte Huang “The Sullivanians,” by Aledxander Stille “The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store,” by James McBride “Silver Nitrate,” by Silvia Moreno-Garcia We would love to hear your thoughts about this episode, and about the Book Review’s podcast in general.
