15.4 - The World Without EndMy book fills both options. 'Dystopia' was knocked out of the main page genres from when I first looked. If you add up 'Dystopia' and 'Dystopian', it would be right back up there, however, I just found out I do not need to argue or plead this logic as someone else already got it approved in the help thread for this task in post 5, doing what I should have done when I first picked out this book!
I read Acceptance by Jeff VanderMeer. This book was published in September 2014, and meets the genre requirements explained above.

trishhartuk25.7 Ellen R-S’s Task: Wonderful Overseas Assignments
This is 2 book Task. All books can be fiction or non-fiction. NOTE: For all options, the book must be set completely in the target country or area.
Option 1: Our first and second overseas assignments were in East Anglia. Read a book set in or about East Anglia. Cities include Cambridge, Norwich, Peterbrough, Ipswich, Ely, Bury St Edmunds, New Market, Kings Lynn, St Neots, and Felixstowe.
Sidney Chambers and The Perils of the Night, James Runcie
From the GR description: “The loveable full time priest and part time detective Canon Sidney Chambers continues his sleuthing adventures in late 1950s Cambridge.”
Read the kindle version. PB reference link is here
This is approved in the task help thread for Option 1, although I hadn't realised that part of the last story in the selection is set in Berlin (the Option 3 country) when I got it approved, so I guess it's up to the mods. If it's a bust, let me know, and I'll try to rejig the tasks it.
Option 2: Our 3rd and last overseas assignment was Osan AFB, Republic of Korea from where I travelled the Orient. Read a mystery set in Korea (South or North), China or Japan. ”Mystery” must be a main page genre.
Inspector Saito's Small Satori, Janwillem van de Wetering
Shelved as "mystery" 11 times
From the GR description: “These cases are handed to Inspector Saito Masanobu, renowned as the most clever detective on the Kyoto police force. But no one can guess the secret of his success: Parallel Cases Under the Pear Tree, an ancient book devised by Chinese magistrates a thousand years ago.” - so a Japanese detective using Chinese methods.
