《黑豹,红狼》
Black Leopard, Red Wolf
马伦·詹姆斯
Marlon James
You don't want to miss this first novel in Marlon James's Dark Start trilogy, which Kirkus Reviews predicts will become one of the "most talked-about and influential adventure epics since George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire." Combining fantasy with African mythology and history, James has crafted an epic adventure saga that author Neil Gaiman says is "as well-realized as anything Tolkien made."
作为马伦·詹姆斯“黑暗原初三部曲”的第一部,詹姆斯的新书将奇幻想象与非洲神话和历史结合起来,创造出了一本史诗般的冒险旅程。作家尼尔·盖曼将其称为“与托尔金能写出来的任何作品都一样优秀”;《科克斯书评》则预言,这部三部曲将成为“自乔治·马丁的《冰与火之歌》之后名声最大、影响最广的冒险史诗之一”。

《我的美丽妻子》
My Lovely Wife
萨曼莎·唐宁
Samantha Downing
Samantha Downing's debut thriller strikes just the right twisted note for fans of Caroline Kepnes's You and Fiona Barton's The Widow. A year ago, a couple abducted a young woman in order to spice up their marriage — now the woman's body has been found and a serial killer blamed for her murder. You'll love the first-person narration in this tale that Publishers Weekly says "unfolds slowly and sinuously."
萨曼莎·唐宁的悬疑惊悚小说正好兼顾了卡洛琳·凯普纳《你》和费欧娜·巴顿《寡妇》的读者。一年之前,一对夫妇为了给他们的婚姻增加趣味,绑架了一个年轻的女人——现在人们发现了她的尸体,并得知谋害她的是一名连环杀手。小说以第一人称讲述,《出版商周刊》称故事“缓慢而曲折地展开”。
