*Rings the bell* It’s time for new mysteries and thrillers! Are you a fan of contract or vigilante killer stories? L.A.-set neo-noir? Multiple POV mysteries? Maybe a heaping dose of family drama? I’ve got all of that and more—including a horror novel if, like me, you read horror outside in the sunshine for safety!

It’s a good month to be a mystery and thriller reader, so settle in and get ready for some crime.

Mrs. Shim Is a Killer by Kang Jiyoung, Paige Morris (Translator)

For fans of dark humor, contract killer stories, and Korean crime novels!

As a widow responsible for caring for her family, Mrs. Shim needs to find a job immediately after losing work at a butcher shop. But when she goes to interview for what she thinks is a cleaning job, she discovers they’re only interested in the skills she learned at the butcher shop. Turns out they want her to be a contract killer.

A Violent Masterpiece by Jordan Harper

For fans of fictional serial killers, multiple POV, and neo-noir!

Set in the same universe as Jordan Harper’s excellent Everybody Knows, this mystery follows three strangers in Los Angeles: Creepy Crawl podcast host Jake Deal; lawyer Doug Gibson, who knows way too much about stored evidence thanks to one of his recently dead clients; and Kara Delgado, an employee at a high-end concierge service whose friend recently went missing. What will connect them is a serial killer: the LA Ripper.
