i know the tainted cup has a sequel and its already on my TBR
i like the sherlock-type detective, manic energy, driven, youre split between asking "are they even sane" and "is this the smartest person on the planet?"
im fine with any setting, sci fi, fantasy, victorian, modern, steampunk
i just want intelligent writing and something preferably modern

The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson is new out and brilliant!!!!
Murder on the leviathan by Boris Akunin.
The Travis McGee books by John D. MacDonald are great. Some are more thriller’esque, but there’s always some kind of a mystery involved. Also, Lawrence Block’s novels are great. His Bernie Rhodenbarr books are modern, but definitely inspired by the classic Holmes stories.
