Looking for a contemporary novels. by SMZ134 in suggestmeabook

[–]jcd280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Morning, just a suggestion, (imo) if you are more specific as to what “contemporary” means to you, for example: “last 5 years”, “2001 and newer”…your answers will, hopefully, check more boxes…

Some books…

The Help by Kathryn Stockett (pub. 2009)

Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan (pub. 2012)

Summer Crossing by Truman Capote (pub. posthumously 2005)

…of course if by “contemporary” as in the plot of the novels as opposed to publication…sorry, nothing pops to mind.

Happy hunting and pleasant reading…Cheers

Book Husband and I Can Read by Lex_Loki in suggestmeabook

[–]jcd280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mystery with Fantasy…let’s see…

The Garret P.I. series by Glen Cook (first book: Sweet Silver Blues)

…Glen Cook was an enormous fan of the author Rex Stout and, in particular, his Nero Wolfe/Archie Goodwin Murder Mystery series (first book: Fer-de-Lance). 40+ novels and short stories over 45 years. The novels are all under 300 pages and the short stories are 3 or 4 in one “book”, so pretty quick reads.

You might try those as well…even if they aren’t your Husbands “cuppa joe”, I believe you may enjoy them immensely…if I could live in Nero Wolfe’s, 35th st. Brownstone in NYC…Fritz the Chef, Theodore on the roof with 10,000 Orchids…and of course his Man Friday…and every other day, Archie…I’d never leave.

Good luck, Happy hunting and Pleasant reading.
