Aussie/UK mystery writer Rachel Amphlett has a couple of stories on her website you might enjoy Devil of a Favor is a very short story with a worrying premise and a twist.
My review of Devil of a Favor
The second story by Rachel Amphlett is A Burning Question, a longer mystery featuring Detective Kay Hunter from her well-known series, although this is a standalone. Narrowboats have become a target for arson.
My review of A Burning Question

My review for You'll Never Know I'm Here by Kiersten Modglinhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I recently read T.J. Klune's quirky sci-fi adventure, In the Lives of Puppets. Known for his popular The House in the Cerulean Sea,(which I loved), here he has taken twists from "Pinocchio", "Alice in Wonderland", and "The Wizard of Oz". He even created an irrestisbly hilarious Nurse Ratched robot from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest".

While I wish I’d been able to read the first book in Lesley Choyce ‘s John Alexander MacNeil series, #2, The Untimely Resurrection of John Alexander MacNeil easily stands alone. 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
