ETA: I have read and downloaded many of your recommendations and have had lots of fun reading them! You are such a welcoming enthusiastic bunch. Thanks a lot! Still looking for more suggestions in case someone wants to add to the ever growing list. So far this year I have read twenty seven books.

Looking for some good mystery novels/short story compilation, etc. Preferably no sci fi or futuristic stuff, no Stephen King. TIA.

FWIW just finished reading "We have to talk about Kevin" by Lionel Shriver. It was OK.

    Horror, last year I read Between two fires, cant remember the author. Felt like I was reading dark souls, but with more of a religious horror vibe. It was okay. Gave me ideas for my dnd campaigns.

    I've been hooked on the Cleopatra Fox series. Despite not being overly complex, it delivers likable characters and keeps the story moving without getting bogged down.

    I'm going to go with a classic and recommend Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky.
