A long time ago, I prepared to review a books those ever I read on
this year 2018, where I share my favorite from travel destination to books. For
Now, let me share my curation of my favorite book I read in 2018, in no partical
order.
1. 1Q84
well, like a others harakumi novels, this novel presents a tension of political and religious ideology as well as a search for individual meanings. very suitable for millenial generations.
2. The Girl in the Ice by
Robert Brindza
The Girl in the Ice is the best thriller novel I read this
year. Detective Erika Foster investigates the murder of a lady whose body was
found in ice. Along the way, she finds out there’s a possibility that this murder
is connected with the murders of 3 prostitutes whose bodies were found in the
water around the city. Many thriller books fall into the same patterns and
predicted twists, but this book is nothing like that. With brilliant plot
and jaw-dropping twists, it’s definitely a page-turner. 4/5 stars.
3. The Husband’s Secret by Liane Moriarty
Liane Moriarty is good at creating light
thriller books that involve a good mistery, a bit of chic-lit feel, and
brilliant twists. This book has all of that. Three women in Sydney live
their lives (rather) blissfully, unaware of a red thread that connects
them: a murder committed in the past. Their husbands carry a different secret
each, and when these secrets are out of the bag, their lives are sent into
a tailspin. 4/5 stars.
4. One of Us is Lying by Karen M. McManus
Another thriller novel, this time revolving
teenagers and a murder investigation in their school. Although the ending is a
bit disappointing and feels a bit rushed, the storyline and the build-up are
quite good. 3/5 stars.
I’m always looking for recommendations for
books to read, so if you have any favorites, please send them my way
