Mike Ripley recommends

The Maze of Cadiz (2008) (Peter Cotton, book 1) Aly Monroe "So convincing and so well-written...I have trouble believing it is a first novel."	Inspector Ghote's First Case (2008) (Inspector Ghote, book 25) H R F Keating "Ghote's great strength as a detective, and as a character, is that he is always underestimated by his opponents."	Typhoon (2008) Charles Cumming "Superior spy story, bang up to date and based on characterisation rather than convoluted plot twists or thick-eared action."
The Serpent's Tale (2008) (Mistress of the Art of Death, book 2) Ariana Franklin "An outstanding historical mystery. Well-researched, well-plotted, well-paced and above all well written."
