1 Fruit Fly by Josh Silver (Crooked Lane Books)

Already a bestseller, this is a darkly hilarious and pointed satire of the contemporary publishing industry in the UK and US that is as addictive and unsettling.

2 The Kamogawa Food Detectives by Hisashi Kashiwai (Pan Macmillan)

The first book of a charming series by one-time dentist, Hisashi Kashiwai, this tale of a father-daughter duo recreating recipes from memory is a charming reminder of the delights of Japanese literature.

3 One Million Footsteps by Jeyamohan (Juggernaut)

Set across Tamil Nadu and Kerala, this insightful translation by V Iswarya captures Jeyamohan's poetic and irreverent tone alongside the world-weary police officer Ousepacchan's travails.
