The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena
Engrossing, but then by the end, it seemed a bit byzantine.

The New Negro by Jeffrey C. Stewart
This was good, but if had been half as long, it would have been twice as good.

The Other Mrs. Miller by Allison Dickson
Several major plot holes and problems with characterization. I only finished it because it was so bizarre.
Review copy provided by publisher.
The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead
I'm still trying to decide how I feel about this. I love The Underground Railroad, and I didn't love this. So in a sense it was disappointing. But in another sense, he did something very clever with this. But in another sense, it was redundant.

The Chain by Adrian McKinty
This is one of those books that you totally devour and feel guilty about enjoying so much.

The Need by Helen Phillips
I thought this was very solid--good characters, unpredictable plot.
