A Murder in Music City by Bishop, Michael

When a private citizen stumbles upon a secret file related to the murder of an 18-year-old babysitter in 1964, the unsolved case is reopened and, with the help of the world's top forensic experts, the real killer is finally brought to justice, in a shocking true crime story that changed Nashville history forever.

I found the author’s approach confusing and difficult to follow. I didn’t like it.      – NH        1 star

 


Nexus : A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI by Harari, Yuval N.

From the Stone Age through the canonization of the Bible, Stalinism, Nazism and the resurgence of populism today, a historian and philosopher explores human history to consider how the flow of information has shaped us, and our world, addressing the urgent choices we face as nonhuman intelligence threatens our very existence.

A very comprehensive discussion of AI. It’s a wonderful book, full of interesting information.     – DC      5 stars

 

Cursed Bunny by Chung, Bora

Blending horror, sci-fi and fairytales this collection of short stories from an increasingly popular Korean author includes a tale about a woman followed and haunted by her own bodily waste and a young monster forced into underground fight rings.

One of the weirdest books I’ve ever read. I really liked it.       – MH      4 stars
