21st century
Ioanna Bourazopoulou has already left her mark in the literature of recent decades, as one of the few Greek writer of speculative fiction. She is best-known for the science-fiction novel What Lot's Wife saw (2007), while her yet unfinished trilogy The Dragon of Prespa (The Valley of Mud - 2014, Amber Desert - 2019) has received wide acclaim. Since the 2010's, crime literature has been on the rise, at least in terms of books published. Crime authors that have attracted wide attention include Hilda Papadimitriou (For a Fistful of Vinyls - 2011, Guilty until proven otherwise - 2021), Eftychia Giannaki (In the Back Seat - 2016, Halcyon Days - 2017), and Dimitris Simos (The Frogs - 2016, Save me - 2020). Giannakaki in particular has been praised for blending mystery with various modern sociopolitical issues, such as racism and illicit antiquities trade.
