GOBrecs Book Club – The Family Plot & Her Name Is Knight

Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr

In this week’s GOBrecs Book Club – The Family Plot & Her Name Is Knight episode, we are recommending two best-selling crime fiction books! Have a listen …

We chose two crime fiction books for May that are far from the flower symbol of the month! We loved them both, but light and airy they are not!  

Cathi chose Her Name is Knight, an amazing debut novel from Yasmin Angoe.  

Cathi fell in love with this riveting novel from the get-go. Nena Knight is an elite assassin currently working in Miami, but shaped by the traumas of her childhood in Ghana. Her current assignment tasks her with taking down a human trafficking ring, along with the possiblity of avenging the very person who ripped her family’s lives apart. It’s action packed, suspenseful, a love story, all written at a breathtaking pace. Her characters are intense and real. You’re going to want more from Yasmin Angoe as soon as you finish the last sentence

Order Her Name Is Knight here for you and a friend (indie bookshop.org or Amazon.com). And enjoy it with sliders and a cabernet, like Cathi suggested!

Christie’s chose The Family Plot, an awesomely creepy mystery by best-selling author Megan Collins

This month’s GOBRec speaks to every reader who, like Christie, thinks they have the market on crazy relatives. The Family Plot takes crazy to another, murderous level. The Lighthouse family live in a secluded mansion on a small island known for its serial killer. A mother obsessed with crime victims like her own parents, raises her children on the stories of true crime. What could go wrong? The youngest of those children, now an adult, Dahlia Lighthouse, returns and is forced to face all her fears and the grief and horror that surrounds her family. Megan Collins has written an entertaining, eerie, page-turner of a mystery novel that will have you appreciating (or explaining, yikes) your own family.

Order The Family Plot here (indie bookshop.org or Amazon.com). And take Christie’s suggestion and pair it with cookies and Robert Mondavi Private Selection Cabernet Sauvignon!
