If you’re looking for reasons to stay indoors during the hottest month of the year, I’m here with a bunch of new mystery and thriller releases to armchair sleuth with! While it’s always been said that publishing slows down a bit in the summer months, that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of new releases to sink your teeth into, including some of my favorite authors, one of my favorite 2025 releases, and a bunch of my most anticipated releases of the year.
You’ll find a graphic novel murder mystery set in a high school theater group, a retired serial killer who finds herself coming out of retirement, a new series starter from Karin Slaughter, a murder mystery on a train à la Agatha Christie, a southern thriller, looted art, and more!
Plus, two appetizer releases (not below) but definitely worth picking up: the 14th volume of of Spy X Family by Tatsuya Endo and a reissue of The Tokyo Zodiac Murders by Sōji Shimada, translated by Shika MacKenzie and Ross MacKenzie—perfect if you want a murder mystery you’ll never figure out.
