I can’t personally speak to every recommendation, but rudetection has a a pretty comprehensive syllabus of so-called “deductive fiction”, which you might find interesting: https://rudetection.wordpress.com/2023/05/24/a-syllabus-of-d...

The Invisible Event has reviewed a good collection of books by French author Paul Halter: https://theinvisibleevent.com/2022/10/01/the-demon-of-dartmo...

And Ho-Ling Wong, translator of some Shin Honkaku classics like The Decagon House Murders and The Moai Island Puzzle has a long-running blog reviewing predominantly Japanese mystery fiction: https://ho-lingnojikenbo.blogspot.com

As for me personally, the best non-English mystery novels I’ve read this year are probably Death on Gokumon Island by Seishi Yokomizo, The Borrowed by Chan Ho-Kei, and Dogra Magra by Yumeno Kyusaku.
