It’s time to see what February has in store for mystery and thriller fans who love adaptations! I’ll start with a list of returning series for fans who have been patiently awaiting a new season—and if you’ve yet to get on these fandom trains, now you know you’re guaranteed more than one season! Then there are two great crime writers’ adaptations, both of whom have great backlists to dive into!
Plus, I’ve got bonus book recommendations because you can’t have enough books.
