With 2024 quickly fading in the rearview mirror, and the new year almost upon us, there are fewer “best books of the year” lists still to be mentioned. But don’t overlook author Eric Beetner’s picks in the blog Criminal Minds, which include Henry Wise’s Holy City, Laura McHugh’s Safe and Sound, and two new Old West mysteries by Steve Hockensmith, Hired Guns and No Hallowed Ground.
Meanwhile, former Mystery Scene reviewer Ben Boulden touts Thomas Perry’s Hero and Joyce Carol Oates’ Flint Creek: Stories of Mystery and Suspense, as well as other new releases from the last dozen months. And TomKat, over at Beneath the Stains of Time, both recaps his favorite and least favorite crime-fiction reprints from 2024, and looks ahead to classic works set for reissuing in 2025.
Be aware, too, that The Rap Sheet will post another entry in its “Favorite Crime Fiction of 2024” series—this one from Jim Thomsen—later this afternoon. Keep a weather eye out for it!
