Daniel Stashower recommends
The Nightingale Affair (2023)
Tim Mason
"The Nightingale Affair is the best kind of historical thriller -- beautifully written, expertly plotted, and brimming with vivid characters and detail. Tim Mason made a brilliant debut with The Darwin Affair, and this one is even better."
Death and the Conjuror (2022)
(Joseph Spector, book 1)
Tom Mead
"With a deviously intricate locked-room plot, Death and the Conjuror unfolds as both an elegant tribute and a cunning update of the classic 'impossible crime' story. Somewhere, the great John Dickson Carr is smiling."
Observations by Gaslight (2021)
Lyndsay Faye
"Lyndsay Faye, one of the most exhilarating voices in fiction today, has come home to Baker Street in this essential new collection. Read at once if convenient -- if inconvenient read all the same."
