Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

There's not much fiction set in Greenland, so that's something that sets this novel apart right away. The story develops as a team of Icelandic engineers explore a potential mine location on the remote eastern shore of Greenland. Two interesting aspects of this whodunnit are: 1) the divergent understandings of the world by different cultures, and 2) things which come to light as Greenland's ice melts and the glaciers retreat.

This book keeps the reader laughing. A ne'er-do-well petty thief, by means that don't matter much to the story, is rendered invisible. But ya gotta go naked, 'cuz clothes aren't invisible. And, too, it's tough to avoid bumping into people on NYC sidewalks, nevermind what you step on barefoot. And how do you run off with booty from a jewelry store if they can be seen floating through the air. What an imagination! Westlake rocks!!
