Sujata Massey recommends
Murder by Degrees (2023)
Ritu Mukerji
"I was kept guessing until the very end of this gorgeously written mystery set in a highly Gothic, 19th-century Philadelphia. Ritu Mukerji illuminates the little-known history of America's earliest women physicians through her protagonist Lydia Weston, an unforgettable young woman whose intelligence is equally matched by her compassion. A brilliant start to a series that presents the medical mystery in a feminist light."
A Disappearance in Fiji (2023)
(Fiji, book 1)
Nilima Rao
"Meet Sergeant Akal Singh, the complex and charming hero of a thoroughly original mystery set in 1914 Fiji. Fans of Golden Age mysteries will relish this debut novel by a compelling new talent, Nilima Rao. More, please!"
Mother Daughter Traitor Spy (2022)
Susan Elia MacNeal
"Susan Elia MacNeal is at the height of her powers in this riveting suspense novel."
