–Gleaned from a longer list that included non-crime fiction–
SHRINES OF GAIETY, Kate Atkinson
MAY GOD FORGIVE, Alan Parks
A HEART FULL OF HEADSTONES, Ian Rankin
A MATTER OF TIME, Claire Askew

Comment: Some may overlook MAY GOD FORGIVE by Alan Parks. One shouldn’t. I liked it more than the Ian Rankin, but very much in the same tone.
