| | | April 10, 2017 |  Dan Brown, Egan, Ide, Maguire, & More | Barbara’s Fiction Picks Barbara Hoffert, @barbarahoffert I've already written about Dan Brown's reappearance this fall on the literary scene, and despite a slight pushback in publication date, all systems are go. Thriller readers will also be cheered to learn that Joe Ide is bringing back IQ, eponymous hero of his debut novel, for more West Coast mayhem. Lots of good reading here, but a personal favorite is Bradford Morrow's The Prague Sonata, which intertwines classical music and the 20th-century's dark history with a suspenseful hunt for a musical score that more than one person wants. |
