Readers' Most Anticipated Fall Mysteries & Thrillers
As a category, Mysteries & Thrillers covers a wide range of storytelling styles: police procedurals, private investigations, espionage, noir, cozies, historical, legal, paranormal…the list goes on.
Because this genre is so reliably popular with readers, you’ll find all of these and more on bookshelves this fall. We’ve compiled below the most anticipated titles of the upcoming season, as determined by early reviews, ratings, and ŷ regulars� Want to Read shelves. The books are sorted by month this time around, to help facilitate your reading calendar.
Some spotlight items, in no particular order: The inimitable Rachel Kushner is back this September with Creation Lake, a fascinating noir about a mysterious American woman infiltrating a French anarchist collective. On the cozier side of things, Richard Osman (The Thursday Murder Club series) profiles a father-in-law/daughter-in-law investigator team with We Solve Murders.
Comic book fans may want to check out Alex Segura’s Alter Ego, a kinda-sorta sequel to 2022’s Secret Identity, both of which feature deadly intrigue in the comics industry. The new novel from genre veteran Liane Moriarty, meanwhile, asks an uncomfortable question: What would you do if you knew exactly when and how you will die?
Finally, fans of Laura Dave’s The Last Thing He Told Me—winner of the 2021 ŷ Choice Award mystery prize—may want to save some shelf space for The Night We Lost Him, featuring estranged siblings, family secrets, and a reportedly bananas final twist.

December and the new Keigo Higashino book, now that sounds like a great Christmas plan! I can't wait for the new book.
Louise Penny! ❤️ I was privileged to receive an advanced copy of The Grey Wolf and Gamache fans will not be disappointed!
I've not read Louise Penny before. Any book in particular you'd recommend I try first? Thank you.
cant wait for freida mcfaddens book and deadly animals and so many more!! fall is going to have some good reads this year!!
We Solve Murders is fantastic but the sleuths are a woman and her father-in-law, not her father.

I would recommend starting at the beginning (Still Life), while each book can stands on its own merits, there are some beautiful character and story arcs if you read them in order. The books get better as Louise polishes her craft too!

grace i know its not louise penny but its lighter read
Grace wrote: "I've not read Louise Penny before. Any book in particular you'd recommend I try first? Thank you."Hi Grace,
in my opinion you have to start with the first Gamache book and read them in sequence. I also think that the first 4 books are more or less really good crime fiction, but I didn't get addicted until Book 5. However, without the first 4, I couldn't have enjoyed Book 5 and all later ones. There is a long and important story arc from Book 1 to Book 10. Also, the Gamache books are really about this magical village Three Pines and its inhabitants, and also about the fascinating character of Gamache. If you can, start with Book 1 and enjoy the journey - it gets ever better :)

Grace, start with her first and work your way up. But you have lots of reading to do! ;-)
Fantastic list! Ridiculously excited for Frieda's next novel! Loving the Island vibe this fall too! No One Will Know, Ghosts of Waikiki, Trouble Island are my Top 3!!! Let's go!

I’ve been waiting for ‘We Solve Murders�! Less than a month now, I’m waiting patiently!
Grace wrote: "I've not read Louise Penny before. Any book in particular you'd recommend I try first? Thank you."Start from the beginning - Still Life. Awesome stories; you will get hooked!
Grace wrote: "I've not read Louise Penny before. Any book in particular you'd recommend I try first? Thank you."Definitely start with the first: Stll Life
Grace wrote: "I've not read Louise Penny before. Any book in particular you'd recommend I try first? Thank you."I'd read them in order - but that said, they really ramp up after the first say, 3 or 4
If you haven't met Richard Osman and his characters yet - you are in for a wonderful read.We Solve Murders
Michael Connelly is a fall tradition, but I'm glad to see a new Attica Locke!
Excited to read Loreth Anne White's The Swimmer, Jason Rekulak's The Last One at the Wedding and J.T. Ellison's A Very Bad Thing!

Elly Griffiths The Man in Black and other Stories. You never list Elly and she is a true treasure of a mystery writer.
Grace wrote: "I've not read Louise Penny before. Any book in particular you'd recommend I try first? Thank you."Just start at the beginning. You will love them all!
Grace wrote: "I've not read Louise Penny before. Any book in particular you'd recommend I try first? Thank you."Start at the beginning of the series. That will introduce you to all the characters that will continue throughout her books and to Inspector Gamache! You will enjoy them!

Grey mystery books it’s interesting to pick mystery novel.
Give "The One Called Jade" a read. Also check out *The Returnals* on Kindle Vella. Fall is here!
They look good. Here are a few more:The Cosmic Key: Convergence -- Patrick Donohue
The Seventh Floor -- David McCloskey
The Mistress and the Key -- Ben Mezrich
Desolation Code -- Graham Brown
Lot of good looking books on this list
Chiming in on the Gamache books, my favorite series ever (after the Betsy-Tacy books of my youth.). Loved The Sequel, but read The Plot first. I enjoyed The Last One at the Wedding a lot more than Hidden Pictures.
Life One Moment is already out in Australia. There are so many holds on it at the library. I probably won't get it for now.
Another great list! So many good books for my TBR.
Read Here One Moment. Doesn’t disappoint. Draws you in. Hang on.
