I have been trying to find a good contemporary mystery novel and have checked numerous out of the library only to find they are pushing an agenda - with irrelevant PC lectures to readers inserted, some don’t even have an ending, and others are just filled with boring small-talk.
Have you read the Three Body Problem? And the following Dark Forrest and Death’s end?
I agree. I even went back to the middle ages but found it full of PC nonsense about feminism and same sex attraction. Also that genre loves to bash the clergy.
I really liked “I am Pilgrim,” by Terry Hayes, his debut novel. It’s mystery, suspense, thriller. Best book of its type I read last year. Hard to put down.
