*an own voice novel is a book about marginalised protagonists (by ethnic group, religion, sexual orientation, mental illness, etc) written by an author who shares that same identity.

I hope to finally read In the Woods by Tana French also. Enjoy Murder on the Orient Express and The Cuckoo's Calling--I did.
