Laurie R King recommends
The Murder of Mr. Ma (2024)
(Judge Dee and Lao She Mysteries, book 1)
John Shen Yen Nee and S J Rozan
"The Murder of Mr. Ma is a joy, with this Chinese Sherlock Holmes and his Watson bringing a thrilling, complex, and thought-provoking new take on 1920s London."
The Golden Gate (2023)
Amy Chua
"A tough guy with room for gentleness... Detective Al Sullivan and his crew are a joy, introducing us to a Bay Area that is both intimately familiar and surprisingly new."
Oakland Dragon Blues and Other Stories (2023)
(Essential Peter S. Beagle, book 2)
Peter S Beagle
"Stepping into a Peter Beagle story is like stepping out your front door into an alternate, but entirely logical, world: your girlfriend seems to be a werewolf, the evening news is anchored by the Angel of Death, dreadful poetry is a lethal weapon, and a Berkeley traffic cop has to negotiate a depressed dragon out of an intersection. But then, what else to expect from a wizard of mischief like Beagle? Two perfect volumes that should come with a warning: When you try and go back inside your house, all its rooms will have changed."
