A thread of some of my favorites over the last few months. Guess I've been on a historical fiction & sci-fi kick. The Oligarch's Daughter by Joseph Finder. 4.5/5 NY finance guy falls in love with Russian oligarch's daughter (he doesn't know who she is at first) and gets caught up in the mess -- changing identities and running for his life. Book jumps right in, no waiting 100 pages for it to take flight. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/212421071-the-oligarch-s-daughter

The Gone World by Tom Sweterlitsch 4.5/5 This is described as 'Inception meets True Detective,' and I'd only add a touch of Interstellar to that. It's a complete mind-warp that had me trying to keep up the whole time. There are moments of extreme violence, but they will leave you guessing until the end. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33413556-the-gone-world

The Heart in Winter by Kevin Barry 4/5 A late-1800s Western of two young kids (Tom and Polly) on the run after he convinces her to leave her husband-to-be and head to San Francisco with him. Funny, tragic, and well-written. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/199795387-the-heart-in-winter
