Top Shelf in September: Night Film by Marisha Pessl
Reviewed by Raul, First Floor Inventory Manager:
“If I had to use one word to summarize the new novel by Marisha Pessl (author of Special Topics in Calamity Physics), it would have to be “creepy.” The book is not necessarily “horror” nor “mystery,” but fluctuates between the two and offers enough of each to draw readers in and unnerve them.
When Ashley Cordova, the daughter of cult director Stanislas Cordova, is found dead in an abandoned New York warehouse, investigative journalist Scott McGrath sees an opportune chance to break a story: namely that the director must have something to do with her suicide. The widening gyre begins here, and the story soon becomes a whirlwind of obsession.”
Fans of Gone Girl and Tana French’s novels will want to check this one out!
Read the publisher’s synopsis of this novel.
Library Journal
“This summer’s Gone Girl: a completely absorbing literary thriller.”
Entertainment Weekly
“Get ready to talk about this book.”
Time Out New York
“A literary mystery that’s also a page-turner . . .
Night Film might be the most talked-about novel this summer.”
Kirkus Reviews
“An inventive-if brooding, strange and creepy-adventure in literary terror. Think Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen King meet Guillermo del Toro as channeled by Klaus Kinski.“
Booklist (starred review)
“Expands from a seemingly straightforward mystery into a multifaceted, densely byzantine exploration of much larger issues . . . Into this mazelike world of dead ends and false leads, McGrath ventures with his two, much younger helpers, Nora and Hopper, brilliantly portrayed Holmesian ‘irregulars’ who may finally understand more about Ashley than their mentor, whose linear approach to fact finding might miss the point entirely.”
Lee Child, Bestselling Author
“Beautifully imagined, beautifully written, and hypnotically suspenseful.“
Scott Smith, author of The Ruins
“A testament to Marisha Pessl’s tremendous gifts as a storyteller.”
