It’s now late October, so we should expect “best books of 2022” lists to begin appearing in greater profusion. Bookseller Barnes & Noble released its selections earlier this month, and now we have the trade magazine Publishers Weekly making its own choices.
There are 13 categories of picks, all of which you can access here. In the Mystery/Thriller division, PW cheers the following dozen works:
• All That’s Left Unsaid, by Tracey Lien (Morrow)
• Anywhere You Run, by Wanda M. Morris (Morrow)
• Blackwater Falls, by Ausma Zehanat Khan (Minotaur)
• Blood Sugar, by Sascha Rothchild (Putnam)
• Dear Little Corpses, by Nicola Upson (Crooked Lane)
• Death and the Conjuror, by Tom Mead (Mysterious Press)
• Double Exposure, by Ava Barry (Pegasus Crime)
• Her Perfect Twin, by Sarah Bonner (Grand Central)
• Jackal, by Erin E. Adams (Bantam)
• The Kingdoms of Savannah, by George Dawes Green (Celadon)
• Targeted, by Stephen Hunter (Atria/Bestler)
• The Wheel of Doll, by Jonathan Ames (Mulholland)
I’ve read about half of these yarns, including Blackwater Falls, which is very likely to wind up on my own “favorite books” roster. Deadly Pleasures Mystery Magazine editor George Easter, who pointed me at the PW list, says he relished Blood Sugar, so I shall now try to fit that into my November reading schedule, as well.
The Rap Sheet should post its 2022 picks by mid-December.
