Part 4/8:
From horror master Stephen King, I’ll tackle "Billy Summers", a thriller revolving around a hitman seeking redemption. Although thrillers aren't my usual go-to, the compelling premise and King's mastery of storytelling have piqued my interest.
In "All the Colors of the Dark" by Chris Whitaker, a mystery thriller set in the backdrop of 1975 Missouri, young girls go missing, and a boy named Patch unravels dark secrets. I’ve intentionally kept my expectations low for this book, hoping that it’ll surprise me.
"Chain Gang All-Stars" by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah is another thrilling read, a raw tale of incarcerated individuals fighting for their lives on televised shows. With themes of systemic exploitation, it strikes me as a thought-provoking choice that I'm keen to absorb.
