October 6, 2025: Catching up on my 2025 Crime Read recommendations!

Including the titles I’m giving a shout out to in today’s blog entry, I’ve recommended 25 crime books (released in 2025) – which may seem like a lot, but not when you realize I’ve checked out roughly 240 books (and counting).  Thus, I am recommending a rate of roughly 1 in 10 which should give you some indication of how tough a reader I am.

Fine Young People by Anna Bruno

When a high-school senior investigates the death of a star hockey player at her elite Jesuit school, she discovers the rot at the heart of the institution—and the truth about her own past.

What Kind of Paradise by Janelle Brown

A young woman leaves her isolated, off-the-grid upbringing to find answers about her past and her mother’s death, only to discover her life is a lie.

What About the Bodies by Ken Jaworowski

Three lives collide in a gritty rust-belt town—a single mother covering up a deadly mistake, a young man on a mission to honor a dying wish, and a musician racing to escape a violent debt.

P.S. This one is my overall favorite so far this year.
