Erica Wright's new novel is Famous in Cedarville.At CrimeReads she tagged some of her "favorite mysteries [that] combine a bit of glitz with their murders, showing us how bright lights can cast the darkest shadows," including:
The Tenth Muse by Catherine ChungRead about another entry on the list.
Perhaps I’m cheating a bit by including The Tenth Muse (one of my favorite books this year) on a noir list, but mysteries abound in this elegant, moving novel aboutfamily, love, and numbers. We meet our mathematician protagonist in the twilight of her life, intent on defying expectations by solving something called the Riemann hypothesis. Chung then takes us through the woman’s eventful life, showing us the lengths she travelled to earn the respect she deserves. Along the way, she tries to understand why her mother left when she was a child, and the surprising discoveries she makes are worthy of any blockbuster thriller.
