Framed in Fire - Iona Whishaw A great ewxample of a modern murder mystery with meaning.
The Life of Crime - Martin Edwards - the ultimate crime fiction encyclopedia
The link immediately above is to a list of all the books I've tagged as "my top reads of 2022" at the StoryGraph, here are 3 chosen from that list.
The Annotated Persuasion - Jane Austen. The first time I'd read Persuasion, and the annotated version was a great choice. Easily my favourite Austen now, one I'm certain to re-read
The Fair Miss Fortune - D. E. Stevenson - relaxing and fun. Plus a surprise to see an untranslated Urdu/Hindi/Panjabi expression that made me laugh and may have been bowdlerised.
The Lost Book of the Grail - Charles C. Lovett A celebration of books that was unusually inclusive in its definition thereof.
My
"Most anticipated of 2023" would be (links to Kobo synopses)
To Track a Traitor - Iona Whishaw. If book 10 in the series is half as good as book 9, it will be a great read.
Sepulchre Street - Martin Edwards. I'm enjoying the Savernake series, I hope its strong form continues.
