Gobble Up November’s New Mystery, Thriller, & True Crime Books!

In this week's new releases: wild true crime story (centered on orgasms!), a foodie cozy mystery returns, as do our favorite Regency-era sleuths.

We’re deep into fall and publishing is supplying a slew of new mystery, thriller, and true crime books to read. Since the crime genre is so vast, with more subgenres and tropes than I can count, I aimed to find something for many different reading tastes— from “killer” games to a Regency-era historical mystery!

There’s a debut that I categorize as a wait-for-it crime novel, an investigative journalist-written true crime, and a dual-sibling point-of-view YA murder mystery. You’ll also find a middle grade puzzle mystery set in an apartment building, and Lizzie and Darcy are back with a new murder mystery, there’s a foodie cozy mystery, a psychological suspense centering a mother-daughter relationship, a college friend group still tied together decades later, and more!

Whether you e-read, read print, or prefer audiobooks, get ready for new mysteries, thrillers, and true crime!
