(8,604 posts)"From the northernmost European capital to a rustbound fishing vessel to a remote farm a stone's throw from the arctic, Peter must confront his growing PTSD and the most powerful Icelandic snowstorm in a generation to find a killer, save an eight-year-old boy, and keep himself out of an Icelandic prison--or a cold Icelandic grave."
It just occurred to me how that word now means something completely different. English is so weird sometimes.

Little Fires Everywhere explores the weight of secrets, the nature of art and identity, and the ferocious pull of motherhood -- and the danger of believing that following the rules can avert disaster.

(8,604 posts)Seattle investigator J. P. Beaumont is drawn into an intriguing, and shockingly personal, case in this superb tale of suspense from New York Times bestselling author J. A. Jance.
I think that must be the most popular title for a novel ever. I found like 50 of them.

(21,031 posts)I just finished News of the World by Paulette Giles. It's a wonderful tale of an old soldier who takes on the task of returning a child stolen by the Kiowa to her family. The old man and the wild child bond during a perilous journey through a lawless land.
I started So Brave, Young and Handsome by Lief Enger but got side-tracked by Owen Wister so I appear to be reading The Virginian instead. This seems to be a week for westerns. I'll return to Enger but I don't find SBYH as engaging as Virgil Wander.

(8,604 posts)I loved that Giles book. Lighthouse Island is another good one. She has a new one coming out in a few months, too. (Oh, oopsie. That should be Jiles)
I was kind of wondering about other Lief Enger books. I do want to read Peace Like a River.
