New Fiction Thrillers and suspense novels are a great way to liven up a long winter. Here are some of our newest: “White Ivy” by Susie Yang. Ivy Lin grows up learning to lie and steal from her grandmother, allowing her to accumulate the trappings of a suburban teen and, more importantly, attracting the attention of Gideon Speyer, the golden boy of a wealthy political family. Ivy’s mother discovers what her daughter has been up to, however, and Ivy is swiftly sent to China. Years later Ivy returns to Boston and is reunited with Gideon. What starts as a young woman’s crush on a privileged former classmate, becomes a story of love, lies, and dark obsession. This thriller offers stark insights into the immigrant experience, as it hurtles to its electrifying ending.
