I've been catching up with your recent posts and enjoying all the book lists and recs. I've recently started wanting to read more mysteries too. There's also a series of noir books, each a collection of dark or mysterious stories set in a different city, from Akashic Books; so far I've read the one from Manila and am now making my way through Kingston, and they're pretty good.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy New Year :)
I haven't heard of them, but I kind of steer away from noir. :<))
