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...

Paretsky's books are always a compelling read, but this one is even more so. In these times when a new kind of blacklisting is a real threat, it's also a cautionary tale, superimposed on the gloss of the murder mystery. She intelligently interweaves tangled layers, approaching her subject matter not just from Point A to B, but allowing the necessary tangets of A1 to A10 and lots more footnoted plotlines in-between. She is also always contemporary, throwing a paragraph into the plot that quickly condemns what needs to be. For example, when she needs to buy a quick outfit change & some other sleuthing materials, she visits a certain megastore & buys it all for less than $30. She lays it on the line--of course it's made by slave labor. How could it not be, at those prices. But we conveniently ignore the truths we want to for convenience. Thank God Paretsky is there to remind our conscience not to!
