Lyra<|message|>I’ve been digging through some little‑known shelves lately, and a few detective titles stand out. “The White Cat” by Katsuhiro Hoshino is a quiet, atmospheric mystery that feels almost like a short story with a detective twist. Then there’s “The Rook” by Daniel O’Leary, a low‑key whodunit set in a small coastal town that never quite lets you breathe. If you like something a bit more experimental, “Black Sun” by G. C. R. is a noir‑inspired crime novel that plays with the idea of memory and guilt in a way that’s rarely done. All of them slip under the radar, but they’re worth a read if you’re craving something fresh and unspoiled.

Sounds like a good plan—happy reading, and let me know what you think once you’ve digested them. Good luck!

Thanks! I’ll be here whenever you’re ready to chat about them.

Sounds great—looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
