City Under One Roof by Iris YamashitaRead about another entry on the list.
In a small Alaskan town every resident lives in a single, highrise building. The setting is already incredibly unique and haunting, but when body parts wash up ashore, a chain of events are set into motion that will change the life of Cara Kennedy, an Anchorage detective, who is sent to look into the case.
This book is written by an Academy Award nominated screenwriter, and you will be able to see why when you read it because the setting really gets into your bones and it feels cinematic and gritty yet somehow unrelatable and eerie all at the same time. This thought-provoking, clever, and devastating story is one you’ll be telling your friends about and thinking about long after you’ve read the last page.
City Under One Roof is among Krista Simmons's eight winter reads rooted in the American West.
