Author: Kevin Holtsberry
I work in communications and public affairs. I try to squeeze in as much reading as I can while still spending time with my wife and two kids (and cheering on the Pittsburgh Steelers and Michigan Wolverines during football season).
The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu
I was not as wowed by this as others. Perhaps because I don't read a lot of science fiction or find complex science hurts my head.

A fun, fast-paced mash-up of classic detective fiction and urban fantasy with a dash of dystopia.

Between Two Scorpions by Jim Geraghty
Lots of action, political intrigue, international travel and culture and good-natured humor/banter between the husband and wife team.
