Tana French的这本小说应该是亚马逊上2016年最red的犯罪侦探小说之一，小说的两个主人公，是两位年轻的探长，受命调查一起发生在都柏林的女子谋杀案。剧情发展到后面两位探长发现凶手并不是女子的男友，而是另有其人，但警长却要求逮捕他，这背后会有什么不可告知的秘密?
简评：“I love Tana French's writing. It doesn't get much better. You have to immerse yourself into her books to understand them, the writing is dense and thick, every word matters...”
“The Trespasser did not disappoint me. It was not as heart rending as Faithful Place, nor as hair-raising as Broken Harbor, but it was another excellent foray into French's great gift for creating difficult narrators, who may act as their own worst enemies, but whom we can't help rooting for and hoping for all the way, even when what we root for is comeuppance...”

简评：“This book has gotten quite the boost on social media especially with Oprah touting it as her latest book club read. Even though Oprah and I have had a tempestuous (albeit one-sided) bookish relationship in the past I thought I'd give this book a try because the slavery era in the US is one of my favorite eras to read about. It showcases the dichotomy of the indomitable spirit and resilience of human beings despite the most horrific, vile and degrading actions that one person can inflict upon another...”

这是一部讲述美国城市中贫穷和利益的故事。这部书能让读者们通过一个个鲜活的例子看到关于美国贫困人民的所处的困境。
简评：“...A word on the swearing: this is a well written, professionally done sociological study. The author only uses swears when he's quoting one of the people he interviewed. If you were desperate, poor, depressed and angry, you, too might be given to curse words.If you enjoy sociological and/or cultural topics, if you care about equality in America, if you are interested in how grinding poverty affects families, pick this up. I learned a lot.”

七、去英国留学最值得读的书-The Return
作者：Hisham Matar。这是一部回忆录，它不仅描述了中东地区被独裁统治下的场景，也给以读者们对威权主义的分析和反思。
简评：“这书其实写得很讲究，时间线虽然一直在来回拨但不混乱，且作者留悬念，抛‘饵’的时机也都恰好，如果读得仔细，可说是一本时刻需重读的书——因为时间线是跳动的，很多时候作者写下的段落，回过头再看自有深意...”

十、去英国留学最值得读的书-The Association of Small Bombs
Karan Mahajan的这本小说围绕恐怖分子在超市里发动的恐怖袭击展开，深入描写了恐怖袭击对普通家庭的影响，引人深思。
