31 of the Best Mystery Books of 2026 So Far

[ad_1]

Every month, the Unusual Suspects newsletter has a roundup of the best mystery, thriller, and true crime books out that month. But not every mystery reader is a thriller fan, and vice versa. Now that we’re halfway through the year, I’ve combined all of the mystery books on those lists into a collection: The Best Mystery Books of 2026.
