Not all of the titles chosen for this list are 2020 books, and one of them sounds rather difficult to get. But I love lists, and Powell's did title their post, "Best Fiction of 2020."
Only one is even remotely a mystery/crime book. I, too, enjoyed it, but I would put it, sort of, in the quirky adventure category -- that is a category, isn't it? That book is "Kingdomtide," by Rye Curtis.
I reviewed two of the other books on the list, but they, too, are not mystery/crime books: "The Pull of the Stars," by Emma Donoghue," and "Circe," by Madeline Miller.
Powell's is a Portland institution. We are so lucky to have some great independent bookstores (still) for both new and used books in town. If you are interested in any of these titles and you are able, pay the price and order a copy from an independent near you. They are suffering mightily during our quarantine.
