Get Out of Your Reading Rut with Mystery's Rising Stars
Are you stuck in a mystery & thriller rut? Sure, you have your favorites you've been turning to for years, and they always deliver. But—just hear me out here—perhaps it's time to update your Want to Read shelf with some new voices?
If you don't know where to begin, we've rounded up some authors who've started to make a mark on the genre over the last few years. Some of these writers are new authors, and a couple have moved over from other genres. What they have in common is that they are quickly establishing themselves and earning fans.
For this list, we focused on authors who have recently published at least two popular books in the genre. Hopefully, this gives you plenty of reading material!

So many good books to read...

Riley Sager has been such an excellent surprise. Final Girls was terrific, such a compelling book. Can't wait to read the next two.
I think some of those cover designers are the ones in a rut.
What's with women and thrillers? Many angry females...
"Final Girls" is one of the few books I've ever rated 1 star. AT LEAST 30% of that was the main character baking! Horrible, boring and so disappointing. She took a great concept, ate it and shat it out again.

He/she, whatever. It’s a crappy book.

Welp, my tbr list just got longer. Some of these books sound really good. And I've only heard of three authors on this list.

I recommend John Sandford's Lucas Davenport & Virgil Flowers series. Quick read, great characters, smart plots!

" Darling, a man wrote the book
Then She Was Gone is an excellent read, as are all of her books.
