Fall for These: Reading Out 2016

Just last week, I was lamenting to a close friend how overwhelmed I felt when contemplating this coming season’s abundance of new crime, mystery, and thriller fiction. And that was before I actually went through the exercise of putting together my lengthy “critic’s choice” selection of titles rolling out during the final four months of 2016. My most recent Kirkus Reviews column highlighted 10 books in this genre due out during September and October, and my forthcoming Kirkus piece will focus on a handful of other works scheduled for release in November and December. But those represent a mere drop in the bucket as far as crime-fiction publishing goes. Between what U.S. and British houses will be offering in the run-up to Christmas, I have culled out more than 320 books of interest to Rap Sheet readers.

This mix includes fresh fiction from familiar wordsmiths such as Linwood Barclay (The Twenty-Three), Sophie Hannah (Closed Casket), Ken Bruen (The Emerald Lie), Mark Mills (Where Dead Men Meet), Peter May (Coffin Road), Ann Cleeves (The Moth Catcher), Anthony Horowitz (Magpie Murders), Tana French (The Trespasser), Max Allan Collins (Quarry in the Black), Robert Littell (The Mayakovsky Tapes), Timothy Hallinan (Fields Where They Lay), Ian Rankin (Rather Be the Devil), and even the long-dead Erle Stanley Gardner (The Knife Slipped). On top of those, it features less-familiar but nonetheless estimable writers on the order of Thomas Mullen (Darktown), Sarah Ward (A Deadly Thaw), Amy Stewart (Lady Cop Makes Trouble), Chris Holm (Red Right Hand), Belinda Bauer (The Beautiful Dead), and Hans Olav Lahlum (Chameleon People). In addition, there are several worthy short-story collections (among them Jim Fusilli’s Crime Plus Music and a posthumous offering from P.D. James, The Mistletoe Murder and Other Stories), the first two volumes in a seven-book compendium of Margaret Millar’s work, and non-fiction tomes addressing favorite storytellers such as John le Carré (The Pigeon Tunnel) and Shirley Jackson (Shirley Jackson: A Rather Haunted Life). Because the fall season includes Halloween, I have peppered in a few tales of a blood-curdling sort; and because Americans will vote in November for a new president, you’ll find mentioned here a variety of yarns that might appeal to the cozy-mystery fan who’s most likely to win that office.

This is not, by any means, an exhaustive list of what will become available in English between now and New Year’s Day, 2017. Instead, it reflects my idiosyncratic tastes and my experience with the genre. If you’re craving more reading suggestions, click over to The Bloodstained Bookshelf (for coming American titles) or Euro Crime (for British releases). And as usual, if you think I’ve failed to mention any must-read mystery or thriller novels scheduled to appear this colder season, please don’t hesitate to drop a note about them into the Comments section at the bottom of this post.
