_Glasshouse_, Charles Stross
_The Girl, the Gold Watch, and Everything_, John MacDonald


_Glasshouse_ is really good. Still thinking this over. Will edit later.

MacDonald's book is an examination of one of the favorite grade-B SF tropes: the time-stop device. You know, everyone else appears to be a statue while you walk around, read their cards and rearrange their chips. All other books using that device are going to have to react to this one.
