A Month-by-Month Guide to Summer's Biggest Mysteries
Murderous rich people betray one another on Fire Island. A Black sheriff walks a dangerous line in the Deep South. A true-crime podcaster makes an unpleasant discovery in London.
Such are the sleuthing delights awaiting readers in this year’s Big Summer Mysteries collection. As always, these selections are determined by Goodreads members who have added the books to their Want to Read shelf and/or submitted positive reviews as early readers. All titles are scheduled to publish between the start of May and the end of August.
This year’s smorgasbord is divvied up by publication month (in the U.S.), and you’ll find some familiar veteran authors in the mix, including Ruth Ware, Colson Whitehead, and Rachel Howzell Hall. There are plenty of deliciously disturbing plotlines to discover. And we didn’t even mention the schoolyard chant about the 1929 Hope family murders…
Scroll over the book covers to learn more about each title, and add the ones that pique your interest to your Want to Read shelf.

Great list! Thank you so much for including Burlington!
“The Collector” by Daniel Silva; July 18. Can’t wait!
How about some authors we've heard of, like Louise Penny, Catherine Coulter, J. A. Jance, etc???
Looking forward to the new Lisbeth Salander mystery book (The Girl in the Eagle's Talons)

Betty wrote: "How about some authors we've heard of, like Louise Penny, Catherine Coulter, J. A. Jance, etc???"I don’t think we’re getting a new Gamache book this year. Louise confirmed in a recent newsletter that, while she’s working on a new one, it won’t be ready this year. (Although, we’ve been told this and surprised before!)

'Dead Of Winter' by Darcy Coates already looks so interesting. Gonna be ontop of my June tbr.

The Goodreads people have spoken ❤️
Thank you GoodReads, for making sure I never finish my TBR 😅
The Quiet Tenant is one of the most heartbreaking, heart pounding, gut wrenching book I've ever read! I will continue to recommend it to all of my fellow readers. It defies being put into just one genre and the author knows how to make you feel like you're right there in the mix. Love it!
Are men not writing mysteries? Great to see so many women authors but there have to be more men that write mysteries, why the lack of representation here? Just curious, I read them all!
The Woods are Waiting is one of my top reads of the year!
I'm a sucker for a giant sea creature. I can't wait for Whalefall!

Good. The last one was terrible.
Great list! I already had a fair number of these on my BR & I've added more.
Does anyone know if the Will Trent show is based on Slaughter's books?

MC Beaton died a while ago - won’t likely see many more of those!
An Honest Man by Michael Koryta, coming out in July.
The Quiet Tenant is what I’ve been waiting for, for months!!
What about Linda Castillo? Her Amish mystery series is one of the best!
I am reading All the Sinners Bleed and it does not disappoint. If you haven't read SA Cosby I highly recommend him. Im looking forward to Drowning by T J Newman because I enjoyed Falling so much.
