Andrew McGahan was a fine Australian writer who won the 2005 Miles Franklin Award for The White Earth, which certainly meets the criteria, being of the highest literary merit and presenting Australian life in any of its phases. I do love a good historical mystery.
My review of The White Earth
Kathleen Early's narration of the latest Will Trent novel by Karin Slaughter, This is Why We Lied, is perfect. 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
This is a beautifully written debut novel about the impact of a missing child on her sister. Don't expect a thriller, more of a literary, character based mystery.

Although this thriller set in the Maldives has been rating well, it just didn't work for me.

In This Ravishing World by Nina Schuyler
Might have worked better for me had it been advertised as a composite literary fiction than as a short story collection.

When Jesse Q. Sutanto offers a title like Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers, how do you resist? 5★s with a hope for more of this cast. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Shanghailanders by Juli Min
A literary fiction with reverse storytelling, going from 2040 to 2014. An innovative structure but a bit tricky to read. Good for those who like character-oriented writing.
