Title says it all. There is limited Jewish fiction (especially where I live) and I've basically read it all.
Looking for good books, fiction novels/series only. By clean, I mean no swearing and not constant s-xual stuff (I'm okay with the occasional scene I can just skip and not read, as long as not too much and author isn't distatestful...)
Not looking for a book from 50 years ago. I like modern stuff.
Any recs would be appreciated!

Brandon Shanderson writes pretty clean fantasy. He's Mormon, so no swearing or anything overtly s-xual.
I recommend starting with Mistborn.

cosy mystery or murder series are series that are clean. There may be some mild romance but without any details or explicitness. If you put it into amazon, you'll find plenty of results.
I have enjoyed Joanna Fluke and Jenn McKinley, as well as others.

Seconded. The man is a legend.

I've liked Monica Ferris's needlework mysteries.

The Remains of the Day, by Kazuo Ishiguro. A brilliant and heartbreaking work. I just reread it.

Absolutely love Ruta Sepetys.
Historical fiction. Great plots.
