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...

Hanging Girl

The q team is at it again. This time Rose is especially interested in the case handed down to dept q by an old acquaintance whose son is looking suspicious. No doubt the murderer is still lurking around. A side plot with Wanda Phinn and Atu Abanshamash add it the twisted mystery. I cannot wait until the book is finished but then I am seriously going to miss being caught up in this one

Marco is a boy in the middle of a "family" business that relies on looing "the other way" when nastiness and even murder become a part of the child gang put together by a Dickensian" master mind. Unfortunately Marco uncovers some bloody fallout from this gang' activities and wants to tell his family about it. Marco quickly becomes a target himself and needs to run from the cruel hands of the powerful gang. He is just one step away from getting caught and done away with many times in this remarkable book book of intriqgue and danger. Good fast enjoyable read.

Cairo Affair

I read a lot of books but rarely enjoy one as much as the Cairo Affair. It is full of fully developed like able and not so likeable characters. The spy network is believable. With it's shady situations and incisive depictions of "jobs" in the process of course there is a murder, a love story but the writing never lets the reader down.

In the Garden of Beasts Love Terror & an American Family in Hitlers Berlin
by

the reality of life. During Hitler's Berlin is vividly portrayed. ambassadors have to be careful even though this one takes chances in a time when no one escapes the scrutiny of the complex system of Berlin spies in wwII. Reading this book brought me into that time period with the safety of a spectator. Because It is clear that I would be scared to death to actually be there in person. There were many brave souls who show up in this book...prepared to be caught by a paranoid regime and their courage is striking
