sure has some mysteries that sound like a good read.

Atwoods? There's sure a lot to choose from. I've enjoyed the Oryx and Crake trilogy, which is sci fi.
Two suspense tales, The Blind Assassin and Alias Grace, were great reads. If you are a fan of Shakespeare then you may enjoy Hag-Seed, Atwood's novel take on The Tempest. The Heart Goes Last is a humeorous, sci fi romance. Quite enjoyable.

Then there are two brand new ones out, which I have not yet read. Good Bones and Simple Murders is a collection of parables, monologues, prose poems, condensed science fiction, reconfigured fairy tales, and other miniature masterpieces. Fourteen Days, just out this year, is about the early days of the COVID-19 lockdowns and has an amazingly unusual twist. I cannot wait to read this one. What a concept!

Hope this helps. Enjoy!
