As dedicated fans already know, the mystery and thriller shelf can deliver a wide variety of settings and styles—from police procedurals to medical mysteries, closed-room puzzlers to cozies.
We’ve compiled below the most anticipated mystery and thriller titles of the fall season, as determined by early reviews, ratings, and Goodreads regulars’
Want to Read shelves. Sorting through the stacks, we’re particularly impressed this time around with the sheer variety on display.
A quick sampling, in no particular order:
Richard Osman continues his popular
Thursday Murder Club cozy series with
The Last Devil to Die. A Korean American family in Virginia deals with a baffling domestic disappearance in
Angie Kim’s
Happiness Falls. And
Lisa Jewell returns with a twisty psychological thriller in the highly anticipated
None of This Is True.
Many authors use the mystery genre to explore deeper themes, and you’ll find plenty of these stories, too.
Jean Kwok, for instance, contemplates motherhood and China's infamous one-child policy in
The Leftover Women.
The variety of stories coming in this year really is impressive. Browse around long enough and you might stumble upon
murder most foul at a nutritional supplement company. Or even a science thriller about a scuba diver stuck inside a whale. No, really.
It happens.
