Okay so I just read a book that may become my new all-time favorite. It's called Farthing by Jo Walton, and it's a murder mystery set in an alternate postwar England that made peace with Hitler and is slowly marching in fascism. It is so, so fascinating, both as a mystery and also as an alternate history book (which may be my favorite genre, aside from post-apocalyptic dystopias). Farthing is the first of three novels, which are currently being reprinted. The first two are out, and the third will be reprinted in September (but you should still be able to get the original at the library). Can't recommend enough!
The author mentions Josephine Tey and Dorothy Sayers as influences, and both also make great summer reading, if you like British mysteries!
