Deadly Pleasures Mystery Magazine’s Winter 2025 edition is out, and it’s thick with lists of the “best” reads from 2024, plus suggestions of what genre fans can anticipate seeing over the course of ’25.
Editor George Easter explains in the mag’s introduction that he collected and collated 107 “bests” lists from all over the United States and Britain. The unquestioned winner among those endorsements was Liz Moore’s The God of the Woods (with 37 mentions), but Chris Whitaker’s All the Colors of the Dark (Easter’s own top pick, as well as mine), Richard Osman’s We Solve Murders, Tana French’s The Hunter, and Amy Tintera’s Listen for the Lie also showed up in impressive numbers. Anybody in search of immediate reading suggestions need look no further than this DP compendium.
On the other hand, if you are waiting patiently to see what this new year brings, flip to page 22 and scan the roll of forthcoming crime, mystery, and thriller titles. They include new works by Stella Rimington, William Boyle, Vanda Symon, Allen Eskens, Allison Epstein, Adrian McKinty, Deanna Raybourn, Callum McSorley, Nita Prose, Jeffery Deaver, Dervla McTiernan, John Lawton, Ashley Weaver, Stephen King, and … and … and … well, suffice to say that the options of books to devour during the next 11 months will not disappoint.
Beyond all of that, this new issue notes the passing of DP contributor and spy-fiction authority Steele Curry; there are lists of recent award winners; and page after page is filled with reviews of new or recent releases from both sides of the Atlantic, as well as Australia.
Deadly Pleasures is published quarterly, only in an electronic edition, and is well worth the annual price of $10. Learn more here.
