Sleepless nights guaranteed. Our critics pick the twistiest, most unputdownable thrillers of the year.
The Last Witness
by Jonas Hale
Detective Isla Bran has a condition that steadily erases her short-term memories. When the sole witness to a decade-old murder resurfaces, Isla has days — maybe hours — before the details slip away for good.
Jonas Hale ratchets the tension to an almost unbearable degree, delivering a final twist readers will not see coming.
A Quiet Murder
by Arthur Lindqvist
Nothing much happens in Ashcombe — which is exactly why Edith moved there. Then a body turns up in the rain behind her shop.
A cozy, atmospheric mystery with a cast you will want to spend the whole series with.
