The Mitford Murders: A Mystery by Jessica Fellowes (Minotaur Books, $25.99) “I am not the main mystery reader in my household, but I loved The Mitford Murders. With perfect timing for all things Great Britain, Jessica Fellowes definitely deserves her uncle Julian’s blessing to place the real-life Mitfords in a fictional Downton Abbey-like setting. It absolutely kept me guessing and satisfied all my English cravings. Well, at least until the royal wedding in May!” —Sue Roegge, Chapter2Books, Hudson, WI

Other Indie FavoritesIn Every Moment We Are Still Alive: A Novel, by Tom Malmquist (Melville House, $25.99) “Malmquist’s debut autobiographical novel opens at top speed as we meet Tom in the hospital and learn that his pregnant girlfriend’s life is in danger. With a velocity unlike any hospital drama, Malmquist captures the chill of the medical staff and his forced navigation of a clinical, emotionless world. His writing style is unlike any I’ve recently experienced; his ear for dialogue makes you feel present and privileged to be part of the conversation. I have not experienced such skillful, unrelenting examination by a writer tackling life-and-death circumstances and what it means to live in a changed world as I have with this book.” —Janine de Boisblanc, Orinda Books, Orinda, CA

MASS MARKETAnother Indie FavoriteFever Dream: A Novel, by Samanta Schweblin, Megan McDowell (Trans.) (Riverhead Books, $16) “Haunting, foreboding, eerie, and ominous, Schweblin’s Fever Dream is the first of the Argentine author’s books to appear in English. Despite its brevity, Fever Dream throbs with a quickened pulse, as heightening tension is its most effective quality. An intriguing yet purposefully vague plot adds to the story’s mystique, one of peril, poison, and the unexplained terror of worms. Metaphorical in scope, Schweblin's impressively constructed tale leaves much to the imagination but is all the richer for doing so. Unsettling and compelling, this is a delirious, potent novel not to be overlooked.” —Jeremy Garber, Powell’s Books, Portland, OR

For Teen Readers American Panda, by Gloria Chao (Simon Pulse, $17.99) “American Panda is the cutest book I have read in a long time. Mei’s parents want her to become a doctor and marry a Taiwanese Ivy Leaguer. When Mei goes off to college, she doesn’t want her family to find out that she sleeps through biology and hates germs, or that she’s met Darren, who is not Taiwanese. Readers follow Mei as she struggles between keeping secrets from her parents and going after what she loves. When she reconnects with her brother Xing, who was estranged for dating the wrong girl, Mei realizes that it might not be worth it to keep her secrets.” —Emily Matz, McLean & Eakin Booksellers, Petoskey, MI
