Two Very Different Books

I have just finished two books - Drive Your Plow Over The Bones Of The Dead, by Olga Tokarczuk (translated into English) and - The Paris Apartment, by Lucy Foley. Tokarczuk’s book is a Nobel Prize winner, and Foley’s book is a New York Time’s best seller. Both are murder mysteries.

I see this as a chance to make a comparison between writers. For me, The Paris Apartment reads more like a young adult novel (even though it isn’t). It’s a quick read - but not a lot of depth. Drive Your Plow Over The Bones Of The Dead has more character development and insight. The storytelling is colorful.

The Paris Apartment is definitely a choice of the public, whereas Drive Your Plow Over The Bones Of The Dead is a choice of the critics. Which book would I recommend?  

Drive Your Plow Over The Bones Of The Dead.  Hands down!
