Suggested Reading Five: June 18, 2025

Linda Reimer

Hi everyone, here are our five suggested reads of the week!

–

King of Ashes by S. A. Cosby 

Roman Carruthers did it. He got out. He left the dying town of Jefferson Run, Virginia, and he built himself a prosperous life making money for other people. When he learns that his father is in a coma after a car accident, he flies home immediately to find a family in disarray: a sister who’s become obsessed with the long-ago disappearance of their mother, and a brother who’s deep in debt to some very bad people. Can Roman somehow find a way to bring peace to his family, even as his father lies dying? Cosby has published one magnificent crime novel after another, beginning with 2019’s My Darkest Prayer, and this new book spotlights the author’s gift for building complex characters. It also continues his exploration of the dark places humans keep hidden within us. His dialogue, too, is pitch-perfect: colloquial and idiomatic, reflecting the education and upbringing of his characters–it feels like we’re eavesdropping on real people. A stunning novel. 

HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Cosby’s rural southern noir mysteries have become consistent best-sellers, and this one comes out in time for beach read season. – Booklist Review 

– 

The Listeners by Maggie Stiefvater 

 It’s January 1942, and in the immediate aftermath of the Pearl Harbor attack, the regal Avallon Hotel in rural West Virginia has been requisitioned by the United States government as a detention center for diplomats from Axis countries. General manager June Hudson, who controls the hotel and the mysterious sweetwater that runs through the property, must convince her staff–men who are worried about being drafted into the war, and women with family members heading off to fight–to offer the same level of service to the detainees as they do to their regular guests. Complicating matters is the presence of the State Department and the FBI, especially mysterious agent Tucker Minnick, who has more of a connection to the region and the sweetwater than he initially lets on. June must be careful as she navigates her loyalties to the hotel and the realities of life during wartime.

VERDICT YA author Stiefvater’s (“The Raven Cycle”) first foray into historical fiction retains her unique voice and signature magical realism. Well-drawn characters and excellent worldbuilding bring a little-known element of World War II to life in this must-read for all historical fiction fans.-Starred Library Journal Review 

– 

Poet’s Square: A Memoir in Thirty Cats by Courtney Gustafson  

Sad Boy and Lola, Monkey, and Mr. Bigbutt are just a few of the feral cats featured on Gustafson’s social media pages, @poetsquarecats. Gustafson had no idea that after moving into her new home in Tucson’s Poets Square neighborhood, the 30 feral cats living on and around the property would change the trajectory of her life and career. After months of haphazardly tossing kibble at the wayward ferals and lamenting over how best to care for them on her meager nonprofit salary, Gustafson took some chances, learning about TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) efforts and feral cat care just as the COVID-19 pandemic struck. In alternating story lines–one often connected to a specific cat and the other to Gustafson’s life experiences–she shares her battles with mental health, chronic illness, and quarter-life crisis. As she contemplates her life and internet virality, Gustafson grapples with perception by the online masses, the significant and empowering love of an animal, misogyny in rescue work, the financial strain of pet ownership, the ache of animal loss, and most importantly, how to develop a community. Her riveting and emotional vignettes are loaded with humanity and all the important lessons we can learn from little creatures just trying to survive. – Starred Booklist Review  

– 

Three Junes by Julia Glass 

A National Book Award Winner. 

This strong and memorable debut novel draws the reader deeply into the lives of several central characters during three separate Junes spanning ten years. At the story’s onset, Scotsman Paul McLeod, the father of three grown sons, is newly widowed and on a group tour of the Greek islands as he reminisces about how he met and married his deceased wife and created their family. Next, in the book’s longest section, we see the world through the eyes of Paul’s eldest son, Fenno, a gay man transplanted to New York City and owner of a small bookstore, who learns lessons about love and loss that allow him to grow in unexpected ways. And finally there is Fern, an artist and book designer whom Paul met on his trip to Greece several years earlier. She is now a young widow, pregnant and also living in New York City, who must make sense of her own past and present to be able to move forward in her life. In this novel, expectations and revelations collide in startling ways. Alternately joyful and sad, this exploration of modern relationships and the families people both inherit or create for themselves is highly recommended for all fiction collections. – Booklist Review 

– 

With a Vengeance: A Novel by Riley Sager  

Sager’s newest book, With a Vengeance, is also one of his very best. The setup is simple: in the mid-1950s, Anna Matheson invites a handful of people to take a cross-country journey, overnight from Philadelphia to Chicago, aboard a luxury train. Who is Anna? What is her relationship to these seemingly unconnected people? All will be revealed in the author’s good time: Sager demonstrates his gift for dispensing information a piece at a time by keeping the reader in a constant state of suspense. And, anyway, Anna’s plan–one enacting her own idea of justice–goes tragically wrong when one of the passengers is apparently murdered, and the killer begins picking off passengers, one by one. Back at the top of his game, Sager delivers a thriller so tautly written, so tightly constructed, that readers will emerge from the book breathless and in a mild state of shock. With this book, Sager has committed an act of brilliance.

Dorothea Lange (1895–1965) aimed to make pictures that were, in her words, “important and useful.” Her decades-long investigation of how photography could articulate people’s core values and sense of self helped to expand our current understanding of portraiture and the meaning of documentary practice. 

Lange’s sensitive portraits showing the common humanity of often marginalized people were pivotal to public understanding of vast social problems in the twentieth century. Compassion guided Lange’s early portraits of Indigenous people in Arizona and New Mexico from the 1920s and 1930s, as well as her depictions of striking workers, migrant farmers, rural African Americans, Japanese Americans in internment camps, and the people she met while traveling in Europe, Asia, and Latin America. 

Drawing on new research, the authors look at Lange’s roots in studio portraiture and demonstrate how her influential and widely seen photographs addressed issues of identity as well as social, economic, and racial inequalities—topics that remain as relevant for our times as they were for hers.

Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suites by Jason Pargin (AKA David Wong) 

A young woman who believes her father dead enters a cyberpunk theme park where everyone is trying to kill her for a secret she doesn’t even know she has. All right, grab some popcorn and strap in. We’re in for another profane and funny roller-coaster ride from Wong (This Book is Full of Spiders, 2012, etc.)-better known as the playful pseudonym of Cracked’s Jason Pargin. Here the author strays from his previous horror adventures to craft a sci-fi comedy-thriller full of ray guns, sentient programs, and cybernetically enhanced psychotic killers. Our hero(ine) is Zoey Ashe, a self-identified “trailer troll” from rural Colorado whose single mother shills drinks in a zombie-themed bar. It doesn’t take long for Wong to offer lots of clues that this is the near future, one in which the chasm between the rich and the poor has reached cartoonish proportions. It turns out that Zoey’s father was Arthur Livingston, the founder of a utopian city geared toward criminals and the superrich called Tabula Ra$a, located out in the high desert. Arthur was blown up by a rival arms dealer, so his gang, the Suits of the title, are under instruction to fetch Zoey, who holds the key to retrieving his fortune, not to mention his violent revenge. “I want no part of this nonsense,” Zoey says. “This whole city is a butt that farts horror.” The enhanced bad guys are all broadcasting to the fictional “Blink” network, a kind of POV live stream that lends itself well to the insane supervillain monologues that pepper the book. Meanwhile, Zoey’s lack of enthusiasm is irksome to Will Blackwater, her escort. “You take risks; you get hurt,” he says. “And you put your head down and plow forward anyway and if you die, you die. That’s the game. But don’t tell me you’re not a hero.” Some of the sci-fi elements are comic book-y and the humor is as juvenile as ever, but the book more than makes up for any shortcomings with its Technicolor tomorrowland, mischievous humor, and frenetic action sequences. – Kikus Review

A Slant of Light by Kathryn Lasky 

Lasky’s latest Georgia O’Keeffe mystery (after Mortal Radiance, 2024) begins with a young Native American boy running through the desert. It soon becomes clear that he has escaped the boarding school of St. Ignatius, and when Georgia takes him in, she learns his sister was killed at the school, one of countless tragedies that has struck there. Meanwhile, Sheriff Ryan McCaffrey is investigating the death of a local bishop who was found hanging, but the medical examiner is sure it was murder. Georgia takes a job teaching at the school to find out if the two cases are connected. They are, and there are also connections to self-mortification devices, antisemitic priest Father Charles Coughlin, and a papal legate. Lasky once again combines real-life figures and events (O’Keeffe, Coughlin, and the abdication of King Edward VIII) into a compelling mystery that culminates in a terrifying showdown during a blizzard. Though A Slant of Light is best enjoyed as part of a series, fans of historical mysteries need not have read the first two to appreciate this one. – Booklist Review  

Reader’s Note: A Slant of Light is the third book in Georgia O’Keefe mystery series. If you’d like to start reading from the beginning of the series, check out book one: Light on Bone.

A Slash of Emerald by Patrice McDonough 

In 1867, Annie O’Neill, a London shopgirl, is on her way home from modeling for a woman artist–a gig she takes on to supplement her meager wages–when she is accosted by soldiers and then detained by the police as a probable prostitute. As required by the law, Inspector Richard Tennant calls in Dr. Julia Lewis for the exam. On her way home, Julia is on the scene of a skating disaster in Regents Park, treating, among others, Charles Allingham, a respected art publisher. When she calls at the Allingham mansion the next day, she meets Mary Allingham, an artist preparing for the upcoming women’s salon. Mary is distraught that her studio had been broken into, with a portrait slashed and painted over with a large green W. It’s not until Tennant calls on Julia to examine the body a woman who, like Annie, was a model, that the threads converge: this model is the subject of Mary’s painting. As Julia and Richard join forces to solve the murders, they uncover sordid links between the rarefied art world and the difficult life that poor women, especially single women and widows, face in the city. As with the first in the series (Murder by Lamplight, 2024), this book will appeal to Anne Perry fans, with both the exploration of societal ills and with the developing relationship between Julia and Richard. – Booklist Review  

Reader’s Note: A Slash of Emerald is the second book in the Dr. Julia Lewis Mystery Series. If you’d like to start reading at the beginning of the series, check out book one: Murder By Lamplight.

Storybook Ending by Moira Macdonald 

DEBUT Westley, an unassumingly handsome bookstore employee, is at the center of Seattle Times art critic Macdonald’s debut novel about books and friendships, set in a Seattle bookshop and full of references to the hit 1993 movie Sleepless in Seattle. One of the shop’s customers is April, a work-from-home real estate promoter, who decides to attract Westley’s attention by leaving an anonymous note in a used book she is returning for store credit. Laura, a young widow with a seven-year-old daughter, is desperate for a copy of the same book for her first book club meeting and buys April’s copy before can Westley inspect it. What results is more notes left in specific shelved books, and both women thinking that it’s Westley who’s writing to them. A subplot involves a Hollywood director filming a low-budget movie at the bookstore, with Westley as a stand-in. The happily-ever-after in Macdonald’s novel is a new circle of relationships formed among the bookstore’s employees, its customers, and the movie crew. VERDICT Ideal for fans of thirtysomething second-chance love stories with appealing secondary characters.-Library Journal Review
