The Salinger Contract by Adam Langer

5.0

The Salinger Contract is an absolute delight. I enjoyed reading this book more than any other book I've read this year. It's a mystery featuring writers writing about writing and writing about the perfect crime with a few teaspoons of metafiction thrown in to give it just the right bite.

It's not necessarily the best book I've read this year, nor is it a novel of enduring literary value, nor is it filled with great philosophical insight or psychological drama. It's just a fabulous story--and a story exceedingly well told.

The Salinger Contract is perfect for reading while curling up on the couch on a cold winter's day, while lying in bed on a rainy morning, or while enjoying the sun on the beach on a lazy summer afternoon. It's even great (as was the case for me today) for reading while you're sitting at your desk at work. Wherever and whenever your read it, The Salinger Contract will not disappoint you.
