Barry Lancet recommends
thumb
Rainbirds (2018)
Clarissa Goenawan
"Rainbirds is that rarest of debut novels--confident, transportive, and utterly enthralling. Clarissa Goenawan explores the mysteries of small-town Japan, drawing readers in with understated prose, then ensnaring with a subtle spell, exposing, grain by grain, the secrets behind a young woman's death."

The Fourth Monkey (2017)
(4MK, book 1)
J D Barker
"Gripping, addictive, and devilishly clever. From its opening salvo THE FOURTH MONKEY grabs you and never lets go. J. D. Barker is a stunning new talent."
thumb
Smaller and Smaller Circles (2015)
F H Batacan
"Vivid, shocking, and utterly engrossing. F.H. Batacan’s police procedural with its priest-PI lead opens a fascinating window on the Philippines."
