New crime capers you need to read
Death at The White Heart
Chris Chibnall
This is the debut crime thriller from the creator of Broadchurch (and former Doctor Who showrunner) Chris Chibnall. Fans won’t be surprised to find that it’s perfectly constructed, with plenty of twists and turns, as a retired CID detective discovers a gristly crime scene in a small English village.
Marble Hall Murders
Anthony Horowitz
The third Magpie Murders novel (now a BBC series starring Lesley Manville) sees editor-turned-detective Susan Ryeland working on a new project with the grandson of a renowned author – only to once again find herself immersed in a devilish literary murder mystery.
This is Not a Game
Kelly Mullen
An extravagant party turns into a murder scene, and 77-year-old Mimi is left to investigate (along with her heartbroken granddaughter Addie). Mimi would rather be drinking martinis, but as the host of the party is now dead, they need to narrow down the suspects, and avoid becoming victims themselves.
Nobody’s Fool
Harlan Coben
In the sequel to Fool Me Once (now a major Netflix hit), a shocking reappearance from Sami Kierce’s past throws everything he thought he knew into doubt. The present day is hard enough – but the past isn’t finished with him yet.
The Summer Guests
Tess Gerritsen
The Martini Club series returns, and this time the group of former spies find their peaceful seaside retirement interrupted by the mystery of a missing girl during high season.
Strangers in Time
David Baldacci
International best-selling author David Baldacci’s latest thriller is set in wartime London, as the lives of three desperate people intertwine in the deadly shadows of the Blitz.
