Ausma Zehanat Khan recommends
Detective Aunty (2025)
(Kausar Khan Investigates, book 1)
Uzma Jalaluddin
"Uzma Jalaluddin is a fantastic new voice in crime fiction! Kausar Khan's dazzling detection skills and evolved empathy make for a deeply compelling crime-solver. This book has family, community, humor, and heart, and they all revolve around a delightfully duplicitous murder that will keep you turning pages to the end. Detective Aunty is here to stay!"
Not the Killing Kind (2024)
Maria Kelson
"A brilliant and thoughtful multi-layered crime novel. With a first-rate plot and pacing, it drives you to its propulsive ending, to determine the guilt or innocence of a young man whose secrets and silence keep him a mystery to the woman who adopted him. But on deeper examination and in vividly imaginative prose, it also portrays the struggles of marginalized Latinx communities with sensitivity and grace, while illuminating the complex connection between a mother and son whose bond is put to the test. Maria Kelson's stunning debut is utterly riveting and represents a brave new voice in crime fiction."
The Revenge List (2023)
Hannah Mary McKinnon
"A pulse-pounding thriller with a riveting, take-no-prisoners heroine whose forgiveness list takes a murderous turn. If you've done Frankie wrong, watch out!"
