Like Agatha Christie but in the modern world. Please leave recommendations!

Here's every book so far from BOTM's monthly shortlist since February 2015 for anyone who wants to read them all like I do!

This includes book that have either mystery or thrillers as a primary or secondary genre. If you have recommendations to add please comment and I'll happily add them 💕

Featuring morally gray men, unreliable narrators, emotional damage, dragons, serial killers, fake dating, enemies-to-lovers, and at least 47 books someone claimed “changed their life.” Proceed with caution.

All fiction books that appear in the Tiny Bookshop catalogue! Would sort them by genre as I read along.

A collection of mixed media and epistolary/immersive books

Thrillers I read or want to read. Variety of authors.

Books that really should be read via audiobook instead of physical/digital copy. Production, narrator, experience all top tier. Memoirs narrated by the authors.

If you’re here, like me you might be tired of basically seeing the same plots and storylines over and over. This is a list of ones I’ve enjoyed that are all (mostly) different from each other*. Main thing in common might be the author.

*Can’t guarantee there aren’t similar types of twists/reveals lol.

fiction that features podcasts and podcasters, whether they're following a crime, investigating a cold case, or something else entirely

protagonists with amnesia or memory loss trying to figure out what happened/is going on

I used to be a physical-only girlie, but I've changed my tune.

From the game. Because I can't be the only one using it as an excuse to add to my tbr

So I LOVE the show Cold Case (ilysm Lilly Rush/Scotty Valens). Cold case mystery/thrillers live in that unsettling space where justice failed the first time, and the world moved on as if the truth didn’t matter. These stories, like the show, return to those forgotten crimes years, even decades later, when a detective, journalist, podcaster, or relentless outsider decides to dig deeper. #tacklingunfinishedbusiness #coldcases

Your Pip-shaped hole deserves nothing less than full-blown mystery mayhem. This list is a survival guide for readers who've finished A Good Girl's Guide to Murder and are hunting for their next high-stakes obsession with amateur sleuth energy, buried secrets, unlikely sidekicks and adrenaline-fueled twists that demand binge-reading.

Books with red covers

red herring: 1. a dried smoked herring, which is turned red by the smoke. 2. a clue or piece of information that is, or is intended to be, misleading or distracting. these will make you go on a fishing expedition, if you will. this list will feature books highlighting the second definition.

Thrillers that unspool through episodes and transcripts—true-crime hosts, missing tapes, and secrets that sound worse in the dark. Binge like a podcast, panic like a page-turner.
