Take Your Pick

We’re not quite two weeks into summer here in the Northern Hemisphere. It’s time to check in again on The Rap Sheet’s curated compilation of crime, mystery, and thriller works set to go on sale—on both sides of the Atlantic—between now and Labor Day.

As promised, I have been enlarging that catalogue ever since it was first posted on June 1, adding titles I wasn’t aware of originally. What began as an inventory of more than 390 works now well exceeds the 400 mark. There’s no way any individual could read everything mentioned there, but it’s interesting to pore through the choices and realize just how diverse and impressive this genre has become.

You’ll find our full rundown of releases here.
