Not a lot of options so far, so I'll add two more to the mix:


-Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel, winner of the 2009 Man Booker Prize, 2009 National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction, 2010 Walter Scott Prize, 2010 The Morning News Tournament of Books, made into a play and with a brand new (released this year) and highly praised television adaptation.

From Goodreads:

Tudor England. Henry VIII is on the throne, but has no heir. Cardinal Wolsey is charged with securing his divorce. Into this atmosphere of distrust comes Thomas Cromwell - a man as ruthlessly ambitious in his wider politics as he is for himself. His reforming agenda is carried out in the grip of a self-interested parliament and a king who fluctuates between romantic passions and murderous rages.

-Beat Not the Bones by Charlotte Jay, an Australian writing about New Guinea; winner of the inaugural 1954 Edgar Award for Best Novel.

From Goodreads:

Suicide or murder? Newly arrived in Papua, where even the luscious vegetation seems to conspire with the bureaucrats to bewilder her, Stella Warwick is determined to prove her husband did not take his own life. Defying the patronising concern of officials, she ventures deep into the jungle, striding ever closer to the horrifying heart of the mystery.
