Stef Penney's The Invisible Ones
Penney (author of The Tenderness of Wolves) does one of my favorite genres--literary mysteries! This one involves a half-Gypsy private eye who is hired to find a Gypsy man's missing daughter--except that she disappeared seven years ago, as a newlywed, and he's sure her husband killed her. The story is also narrated by a fourteen-year-old boy, a cousin of the missing woman's husband, providing extra insight into their family (and culture). There's all sorts of intrigue and secrets and poisonings afoot, and Penney surprises at every turn. Really excellent--though I'd expect no less. A.
