hmm, what are some good more-recent published mystery/detective fiction that you all have read

how recent we talkin

uhhhh hmm fuck it, lets go with no earlier then 1990

Brother Cadfael then counts, as the series made it into the early 1990s. www.fantasticfiction.com/p/ellis-pete... !

www.goodreads.com/en/book/show... the translation is from the 21st century and I recommend it (Sherlock Holmes fanfic from Republican China, set in Shanghai during its 20th century Golden Age)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roma_Su... I've only grown more interested in the Roman Sub Rosa series after learning that the author's other professional life was writing gay erotica (some of it set in Rome) in the 80s and 90s

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sano_Ic... this series is pretty fun - think PD James/Dashiell Hammett but they're in Tokugawa Japan.

thanks for the whole variety!

this doesn't fit your recency requirement but: "Dutch diplomat attached to Chaing' people during WW2 translates a Chinese 18th century detective novel, then writes his fan continuation of the series for another 18 books" is a fun story. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebra...

okay, one more that's out of your time range - Lillian de la Torre wrote a large series of detective stories that took the "Johnson-Boswell" relationship of Holmes and Watson and just made Samuel Johnson a detective. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lillian...
