For twelve years, from 1989 through 2000, the editors of The Drood Review of Mystery curated an Editors' Choice List, the ten or so books that we "most enjoyed" during the year.  The selections often highlighted writers early in their careers, and often recognized titles that were overlooked by genre awards.  This list here on bookshop.org offers a selection of Editors' Choice titles that remain in print and are always worth reading.  Find the complete list of Editors' Choice titles at https://crumcreekpress.com/drood-review
