I run a small rural library, so most of my reading for the past couple of reading is for the benefit of my patrons, so I have an idea what I can recommend to them, and I haven't done much reading for myself.
That said, some standouts from the year past:
Steam Pig, , etc., by James McClure - South African police procedural series set in and written during Apartheid. Strangely addicting;
With the Light, by Tobe Keiko - a manga series about raising an autistic boy, sadly interrupted during Junior High, by the death of the artist;
The Day of the Owl, by Leonardo Sciascia, a novel about a mafia killing, written during a time when it was officially denied that the mafia even existed;
The Curse of Capistrano, by Johnston McCulley - the original Zorro novel; and
(not a book) Bron/Broen (The Bridge), the Danish/Swedish thriller series, and its remakes, The Bridge (US) and The Tunnel (UK/France).
