Eight suspense novels set across the globe

Carolina Ciucci is a teacher, writer and reviewer based in the south of Argentina. She hoards books like they’re going out of style. In case of emergency, you can summon her by talking about Ireland, fictional witches, and the Brontë family. At Book Riot she tagged eight suspense titles that "will make you feel like you traveled thousands of miles — and in some cases, dozens of years — to get to know a new city or town." One novel on the list:

Five Nights Before the Summit by Mukuka Chipanta

The year is 1979. Zambia brims with anticipation days before hosting the Commonwealth Heads of Government Summit. But five days before the event, a British couple is murdered just outside Lusaka. Detective Maxwell Chanda wants to find the real killer – but he’s under heavy political pressure to close the case at all costs.
