S J Rozan recommends

A Secret About a Secret (2022)
Peter Spiegelman
"Peter Spiegelman has an extraordinary ability to conjure vivid characters and places with a few perfectly-chosen words. In A Secret About a Secret, he puts that skill to the service of creating a world that is not quite ours (not yet anyway). I couldn't put this book down and was rooting for Myles, its narrator, even while I was a tiny bit horrified at his role in a world that itself is more than a tiny bit horrifying."

This Train (2022)
James Grady
"Writing with the rhythm of a rushing train, James Grady delivers a story you won't see coming, crowded with characters you get to know very well very fast. If ever a book paralleled the experience it depicts, This Train is that book."

Thief of Souls (2021)
(Inspector Lu Fei Mystery, book 1)
Brian Klingborg
"Brian Klingborg's Thief of Souls offers a wonderful view into the life of a rural town in the orbit of one of China's huge but secondary cities. Klingborg truly understands how Chinese bureaucracies work; at the same time he's a wizard at believable characters, compelling situations, and a propulsive plot. I'm already looking forward to the second book in this series."

Tower of Babel (2021)
(Queens Mystery, book 1)
Michael Sears
"Tower of Babel is so full of New York characters and locations that you'd swear it was written on asphalt. It has no potholes, though, just a fast-moving and, because it involves corrupt politicians and shady real estate developers, completely believable plot. If you live here, you'll love it. If you don't, read it to see what makes us the way we are."

The Ancestor (2020)
Lee Matthew Goldberg
"From the icy opening battle of man vs. wolf, you feel yourself in the hands of a master storyteller and that feeling never lets up."

Murder in Chianti (2020)
(Tuscan Mystery, book 1)
Camilla Trinchieri
"Engaging characters, a wonderful Tuscan setting, and a tightly plotted mystery. Like a good wine, Nico's story starts out delicious and is sure to reveal even more complexity and nuance over time."
