C J Sansom recommends
 Critique of Criminal Reason (2006) (Hanno Stiffeniis, book 1) Michael Gregorio "A marvelous highbrow thriller." | Silesian Station (2008) (John Russell, book 2) David Downing "An extraordinary evocation of Nazi Germany on the eve of war, the smell of cruelty seeping through the clean modern surface." | King's Gold (2011) (Medieval West Country Mystery, book 30) Michael Jecks "Marvellously portrayed." |
Golden Hill (2016) Francis Spufford "Quite marvellous. A vivid re-creation of colonial New York, in which the adventures of Mr Smith, who may be a charlatan or a hero, make for a page turner, with an unexpected and unusually satisfying ending." | A Rising Man (2016) Abir Mukherjee "A Rising Man is an exceptionally good, and original, historical crime novel." | The Coroner's Daughter (2017) Andrew Hughes "An exceptionally good book." |
