2025 has come and gone, and with it, a whole new slew of mysteries to solve. As devout mystery-thriller book lovers (and pseudo-detectives), we can attest that it was a particularly fruitful year, with no shortage of suspenseful titles to devour.
From exciting novels by emerging writers (we see you, Zoë Rankin), to twisty new releases from #Booktok-beloved authors like Lisa Jewell (The Night She Disappeared, None of This Is True), Freida McFadden (the Housemaid series), and Ruth Ware (she finally dropped the Woman in Cabin 10 sequel we've been waiting for), there was a lot worth holding space for on our TBR lists this year.
