This year was a slow burn – sometimes I find a book early in the year that I’m completely passionate about.\u00a0 This year I didn’t find “the one” until November, when I devoured Christina Lynch’s utterly original\u00a0Pony Confidential.<\/em>\u00a0 I read lots of other great books along the way though, some by tried and true writers – Elly Griffiths, Hank Phillippi Ryan, Ann Cleeves, Anthony Horowitz, Deanna Raybourn and Ragnar Jonasson – and particularly in the historical novel category, lots of wonderful debuts that give us lots to look forward to. These recommendations are divided into categories.\u00a0 Full reviews for all of these can be found on this website, just search by title or author.<\/p>\n

Best Cozies<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Some nice debuts here: a debut from Scott Lyerly, The Last Line, <\/em>and series debuts from Nicholas George, Kat Ailes, and Ann Claire.\u00a0 Old hands and newish hands round out the list – Kemper Donovan, Benjamin Stevenson, M.E. Hilliard, E.J. Copperman, Ellen Byron and Simon Brett.\u00a0 Honorable mention: Leslie Budewitz’\u00a0To Err is Cumin<\/em> and Frank Anthony Polito’s fun series installment,\u00a0Haunted to Death.<\/em><\/p>\n

Kat Ailes’ debut,\u00a0The Expectant Detectives,\u00a0<\/em>follows a group of pregnant women as they hilariously solve a crime in a quaint English village.\u00a0 Perhaps most hilarious is the main character’s dog, Helen, an Afghan who is beautiful but dumb.\u00a0 A fun, light read.<\/p>\n

Old hand Simon Brett turns in\u00a0A Messy Murder<\/em>, the fourth in his series featuring decluttering expert Ellen Curtis, a widowed Englishwoman with two problematic children and a business to run.\u00a0 Brett packs in character, emotion, plot, and a look at the way decluttering is a form of purging.\u00a0 Ellen is almost a social worker.\u00a0 This is the work of a practiced master.<\/p>\n

Another old hand, Ellen Byron, kicks off a new series with\u00a0A Very Woodsy Murder, <\/em>where exhausted TV writer Dee decides to sink her savings into a vintage hotel in the California woods.\u00a0 There are bears, people.\u00a0 Fun is to be had.<\/p>\n

Ann Claire kicks off a series with A Cyclist’s Guide to Croissants and Murder,\u00a0<\/em>where an American ex-pat has decided her dream job is running bike tours of the French countryside.\u00a0 There’s a beautiful setting, cycling, and some pretty devious customers at owner Sadie Greene’s new venture, Oui Cycle.\u00a0 Claire fleshes out Sadie’s character with folks from her past showing up for the first tour. Enjoy the pastries!<\/p>\n

Another witty veteran, E.J. Copperman, turns in a poignantly funny novel, Same Difference.\u00a0 <\/em>Investigators Fran and Ken Stein look into the missing trans daughter of a worried Dad.\u00a0 The plot, as always, is a thing of complicated yet simple perfection.\u00a0 Copperman is simply one of the best in the biz.<\/p>\n

I loved Kemper Donvan’s clever novel, The Busy Body, <\/em>about a ghostwriter working for a Hilary Clinton-esque character who has heartbreakingly lost an election.\u00a0 The book is funny, and the intelligent Hilary – I mean “Dorothy” – solves a tricky murder in full on golden age style.\u00a0 This author is the genius behind the All About Agatha<\/em> podcast, and there are plenty of golden age references throughout.\u00a0 He lives up to them with this enjoyable & witty novel.<\/p>\n

Nicholas George’s sweet series debut, A Deadly Walk in Devon,\u00a0<\/em>follows newly bereaved Chase.\u00a0 The loss of his husband has caused him to rethink his life, though when there’s a death and people on the walking tour find he’s a police detective, he can’t hide.\u00a0 The scenery is lovely (you’ll want to book your own tour) and Chase is such a charmer you’ll be totally captivated.<\/p>\n

I’m a long time fan of M.E. Hilliard’s series following widowed librarian Greer Hogan, who has been trying to figure out the mystery of her husband’s death since book one.\u00a0 In this outing, when she’s archiving the library and artifacts of a magician in New York City (the gig comes with it’s own nifty apartment across the street), she finally solves the case, as well as the murder that occurs during the course of this book.\u00a0 Hilliard’s lovely prose and her way with setting and character will leave you entranced.\u00a0 You might actually want to start with book one, The Unkindness of Ravens.<\/em><\/p>\n

The only true debut on this list comes from Scott Lyerly, whose theater set novel,\u00a0The Last Line,\u00a0<\/em>follows a detective with Tourette’s who is also the director of the play.\u00a0 The Tourette’s is only one aspect of theater loving Ellie’s character, and Lyerly provides a well paced and written mystery in a setting that has a long tradition in mystery fiction (one of my favorites, in fact).\u00a0 Lyerly himself has Tourette’s and provides a note at the end for the curious reader, but I liked the matter of fact way it’s portrayed.\u00a0 Ellie is simply a delight –and a good detective.<\/p>\n

Finally, of the two books Benjamin Stevenson provided for readers this year, I preferred his Christmas amuse-bouche,\u00a0Everyone This Christmas Has a Secret.\u00a0 <\/em>Stevenson is both an intelligent and funny writer, and he takes his series character, Ernest Cunningham, to a small playhouse in Katoomba, Australia, where his ex has been accused of murder.\u00a0 The exceedingly clever mystery can thank Christmas for it’s story structure, but the wit is all Stevenson, who after just three books has established himself as a force in the traditional mystery universe.<\/p>\n

Historical Mysteries<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Some wonderful debuts and series kick-offs this year.\u00a0 Elizabeth Hobbs (who also writes romances as Elizabeth Essex) gives us an original look at the U.S. East coast at the turn of the century; debuts from Patrice McDonough, Jenny Adams, and Katie Tietjen are some fresh takes on different historical eras; and old hands Susan Elia MacNeal, Tasha Alexander, Allison Montclair, Ashley Weaver, Harini Negendra and Deanna Raybourn round out the list.\u00a0 Honorable mention: Mariah Fredericks’ The Wharton Plot;\u00a0<\/em>A Jewel in the Crown,\u00a0<\/em>David Lewis’ fun debut; the second book from Julia Kelly,\u00a0Betrayal at Blackthorn Park;\u00a0<\/em>and another installment in Jennifer Ashley’s insanely enjoyable Victorian series, Speculations in Sin.<\/em><\/p>\n

Jenny Adams’ debut,\u00a0A Deadly Endeavor, <\/em>is set in 1921 and features heiress Edie Shippen, who has returned home after a bout of influenze (it was a pandemic at the time), just in time for her sister’s engagement party.\u00a0 Adams creates a lovely matrix of characters and situations – the other central character, a doctor, is suffering from wartime PTSD though the condition was unknown at the time.\u00a0 This novel is not a heavy read but it’s not light, either.\u00a0 It is completely enjoyable, however.<\/p>\n

Favorite Tasha Alexander returns with Lady Emily in her latest,\u00a0A Death by Misadventure.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>Though these books are well structured traditional mysteries, they also are an often delicious look at the Victorians, foibles and all.\u00a0 This installment is set in 1906 Bavaria and has a past thread featuring “mad” King Ludwig (1866) and his obsession, castle\u00a0Neuschwanstein, which is the model for Disney’s Cinderella castle.\u00a0 Simply and utterly a joy.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth Hobbs’ series debut, Misery Hates Company,\u00a0<\/em>features Miss Marigold Manners, an 1890’s Boston socialite who has lost both parents to the flu pandemic.\u00a0 They have also left her destitute, and she’s forced to accept on offer from a distant cousin to live with the family on Misery Island.\u00a0 “Misery” lives up to it’s name, and the resulting mystery and family complications are utterly compelling.\u00a0 A crisp, memorable mystery debut.<\/p>\n

Susan Elia MacNeal’s wrap up to her now classic (in my opinion) Maggie Hope series is a worthy end to a thoroughly enjoyable and lovely series.\u00a0 Maggie heads to Madrid in this outing, tasked with assassinating Heisenberg, as well as meeting up with Coco Chanel who has an offer for Churchill.\u00a0 This is just as great a read as every other book in the series, and my consolation is that these are going to be wonderful re-reads.\u00a0 I can’t wait to see what the talented MacNeal comes up with next (spoiler: it’s another historical novel).\u00a0 Bravo, Ms. MacNeal, and thanks for many, many happy reading hours.<\/p>\n

Patrice McDonough’s debut,\u00a0Murder by Lamplight,\u00a0<\/em>follows Dr. Julia Lewis in 1866 London.\u00a0 While it was extremely unusual for a woman to be a doctor at the time (and the only school to admit women was in the U.S.), it was possible, and Julia is often called to crime scenes.\u00a0 She ends up involved in a serial murder case that looks at cholera, workhouses and abandoned children.\u00a0 McDonough has a wonderful way with character and setting and Dr. Julia is a wonderful series mainstay.\u00a0 If you are missing Victoria Thompson (and who is not) you’ll find this series is a good addition to the crowded Victorian mystery field.\u00a0 A really wonderful debut.<\/p>\n

Allison Montclair – a.k.a. Alan Gordon – can do no wrong, and he turns in another wonderful outing with Murder at the White Palace.\u00a0 <\/em>Matchmakers Iris and Gwen, who operate in post WWII London, are searching for a location for a New Year’s Eve ball.\u00a0 Of course a dead body turns up during the course of the hunt.\u00a0 Very delicious is Iris introducing her MP mother to her boyfriend, the “spiv” Archie.\u00a0 Gwen is on her own journey, one where snooker and an unlikely admirer play a large part.\u00a0 Great characters, great plot, wonderful setting.\u00a0 This series is tops.<\/p>\n

Harini Negendra’s series set in 1920’s Bangalore, India, features new bride (and detective) Kaveri Murthy.\u00a0 She and her husband have fallen in love since being married, and their relationship is a strong thread at the center of the novels.\u00a0 Each one features a complex mystery, but always the central portion involves a relationship.\u00a0 This one involves Kaveri and her friend Anandi, who is not only accused of murder, but is shutting Kaveri out.\u00a0 In each novel, Kaveri grows a bit as a person, and here she’s learning to live without the constant presence of her mother in law, who she made peace with in the previous book.\u00a0 This is an absolutely wonderful new series.\u00a0 If you aren’t reading it, you are really missing out.<\/p>\n

Deanna Raybourn, whether writing historical novels or contemporary ones, is always worth a look. Her new novel, A Grave Robbery,\u00a0<\/em>the latest in her Veronica Speedwell series, finds Veronica and her hunky partner Stoker trying to solve the mystery of a “breathing” life size wax figure of a woman that’s been delivered to the daughter of the man who owns the estate where they live.\u00a0 On closer inspection, it’s discovered she’s an “anatomical beauty,” which were used to teach anatomy and contained a complete set of organs.\u00a0 There’s also a trip to the Necropolis Railway.\u00a0 Enjoy your visit to 1900’s London, along with a very clever mystery.<\/p>\n

The spectacular debut from Katie Tietjen, Death in the Details,\u00a0<\/em>finds Maple Bishop in WWII Vermont.\u00a0 She’s lost her brother, mother and husband, as well as most of her money.\u00a0 To make ends meet, she creates and sells dollhouses, but she doesn’t find much joy in them.\u00a0 Where she does find joy is when, encountering a crime scene, she recreates it in miniature and helps to solve a crime. Her mantra: “find what’s big in what’s small.” Maple is based on the real Frances Glessner Lee, the mother of crime scene investigation, but Maple’s story is all her own.\u00a0 The characters and setting are unusual and lovely, as is the premise.\u00a0 This a delightful and surprising first novel, and I can’t wait for the next book.<\/p>\n

In Locked in Pursuit<\/em>, the latest in Ashley Weaver’s series following safecracker extraordinaire Electra McDonnell, we find Electra heading to a swanky party to swap out a forged map created by her friend and possible lover, Felix.\u00a0 This series is a nice mix of history – they’re set during the blitz – adventure, and romance, and they are insanely readable.\u00a0 Electra is a completely interesting character and I highly recommend making her acquaintance.\u00a0 You might as well begin with book one, A Peculiar Combination.<\/em> They are fast, fun reads and usually end with a bit of a cliffhanger.\u00a0 There’s no way Weaver didn’t grow up reading Nancy Drew!\u00a0 She’s writing the grown up version.<\/p>\n

Best of 2024<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

My overall best list is always so difficult.\u00a0 I give myself leeway by selecting favorite cozies & historicals, and some of those might belong on the overall list, but I like to shout out to as many books as possible.\u00a0 I read about 100 books in a year, not counting re-reads, and these thirty are my favorites of that bunch.\u00a0 I do tend to prefer traditional mysteries overall, so if you’re looking for great thrillers or a wonderful dark read, this is not your list.\u00a0 I felt all of these had that something extra that made them standouts.\u00a0 Veterans Ann Cleeves, Elly Griiffiths, Anthony Horowitz, Ragnor Jonasson, Sarah Stewart-Taylor, Hank Phillippi Ryan, Margaret Mizushima and Connie Berry all turned in wonderful reads.\u00a0 Two exciting newcomers to mysteries, Christina Lynch and Elise Bryant, wrote two of the more original books of the year.\u00a0 Honorable mention: Louise Penny’s latest Gamache book, The Grey Wolf<\/em>; and the third book in Carlene O’Connor’s strong Irish set series,\u00a0You Have Gone Too Far.<\/em><\/p>\n

I was so smitten with Connie Berry’s\u00a0A Collection of Lies,\u00a0<\/em>the 5th in her yummy Kate Hamilton series, that I went back and read them all.\u00a0 Kate is a widow, an antique dealer from Ohio, whose ties to the U.K. were cemented by her first husband, a Scot.\u00a0 In this one she’s just married a Brit encountered in the first book.\u00a0 Each book has a fascinating historical artifact – in this one, it’s a bloody antique dress.\u00a0 There’s all sorts of fascinating detail about lace making.\u00a0 The mysteries are nicely structured traditional detective novels, and the settings are to die for.\u00a0 My favorite binge of the year, by far.<\/p>\n

Elise Bryant’s\u00a0It’s Elementary<\/em> was a funny burst of fresh air.\u00a0 It’s the story of single mom, Mavis, who is late getting the adorable Pearl to school every day.\u00a0 She gets ensnared by the PTA president in the school parking lot, who wants her (one of only two African American moms at the school) to be the DEI representative.\u00a0 Seeing no way out, she agrees, and the social details of suburban social behaviors, as seen at a PTA meeting and a school parking lot, could not be more acutely observed.\u00a0 This is a fun read with wonderful characters, but it’s that socially observant (and funny) eye that really makes this book sparkle.<\/p>\n

Ann Cleeves is almost always on this list, she’s just so good, and really one of the very best at the traditional detective novel working at the moment.\u00a0 Her latest Vera Stanhope novel, The Dark Wives,<\/em> in another excellent, tightly written, and compelling mystery.\u00a0 Nature is always part of the story and in this one it’s the Dark Wives of the title, three enormous rocks that have a legend behind them.\u00a0 Vera is called to a local care home where one of the workers has been killed, and a 14 year old resident has vanished.\u00a0 The search for a missing child amps up the ticking clock nature of the search.\u00a0 A great, atmospheric read.<\/p>\n

Elly Griffiths has retired her beloved Ruth Galloway, but happily she’s written a second novel featuring the cast of\u00a0The Postscript Murders.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>In\u00a0The Last Word<\/em> Benedict, Edwin and Natalka are asked by two sisters to investigate the death of their mother, who they feel was murdered by their stepfather (who also gets the house and the money). Happily, the investigation requires Edwin and Benedict to go undercover at a writer’s retreat.\u00a0 This glorious word centered story is the work of a master at the top of her game.<\/p>\n

Anthony Horowitz is just the best.\u00a0 I’m not sure he could write a bad book.\u00a0 In the seriously yummy\u00a0Close to Death,\u00a0<\/em>an installment in his Horowitz and Hawthorne series, where Horowitz, the character, in very meta fashion, is a writer who follows detective Hawthorne around and writes up what happens.\u00a0 Sadly, Hawthorne hasn’t had a juicy case in awhile, so Hawthorne gives Horowitz an old case, daring him to solve it.\u00a0 It’s set in a “close,” or a tight community of houses, where neighbors argue over things like parking and views.\u00a0 With meticulous detail we meet everyone in the close, and an insanely clever mystery is the result.\u00a0 Unlike old fashioned puzzle books which (horrors) I sometimes find to be a slog, Horowitz gives the reader a gift: these are fun books to read.\u00a0 This one is no exception to his long tradition of absolute excellence.<\/p>\n

This book is a standout, even from a writer as good as Ragnar Jonasson.\u00a0 Death at the Sanitorium<\/em> opens in the past and threads forward into the future, with the long ago murder of the supervisor at the sanitorium.\u00a0 Her body was discovered by a nurse, who found working in the mostly abandoned building in 1983 (it has been used for TB patients) a bit creepy.\u00a0 In 2012 a young man named Helgi is looking into the crime for a master’s thesis.\u00a0 Helgi is a fan of Agatha Christie and the plot is structured in a very golden age style, with Helgi tracking down living suspects.\u00a0 The pool is a small one and Helgi attempts to find the solution to the crime that he feels was wrongly concluded in the 80’s.\u00a0 This is a beautifully structured and absolutely compelling read.\u00a0 The last page is a jaw dropper.<\/p>\n

Loved, loved, loved this book.\u00a0\u00a0Pony Confidential,\u00a0<\/em>Christina Lynch’s first foray into the mystery universe, is an utter joy.\u00a0 Narrated by both Penny, a human who is presently wrongly incarcerated, and the Pony, we get a dual perspective.\u00a0 Penny was heartbroken when her parents long ago sold her pony; the Pony himself has never gotten over it, and has nothing in his heart but seeking revenge on Penny.\u00a0 On his quest – Odyssey is actually the correct word – to find Penny, he finds that he was wrong in his assumption and the quest becomes one to save Penny instead.\u00a0 The dual narrative illuminates Penny’s life, as well as the Pony’s.\u00a0 While this book is funny and at times profound, it’s also a pretty disturbing look at the way animals are treated, not to mention the wrongly incarcerated.\u00a0 To say much more would to be reveal things better discovered by the (lucky) reader.\u00a0 All I can say is – it’s a magnificent achievement.\u00a0 I envision re-reading many, many times.<\/p>\n

Margaret Mizushima’s Gathering Mist<\/em> is basically a perfect thriller.\u00a0 It’s the ninth book in her K-9 series, but sometimes in a series the author just hits every mark.\u00a0 It’s like a perfect performance.\u00a0 In this very simply structured novel, heroine Mattie Cobb and her rescue dog, Robo, are called out of state (they live in Colorado) to aid in the search for a missing child.\u00a0 Robo will be especially helpful as he’s trained as an air scent dog, as in he can track scent in the air rather than the ground.\u00a0 As the ground in Oregon, where they are headed, has been soaked with rain, he’s one of the best hopes the team has to find the missing child.\u00a0 That’s it. That’s the story.\u00a0 It’s just perfectly rendered.\u00a0 Mizushima includes the grieving parents, the squabbles that develop under pressure between the search teams, and the fact that Mattie is due to marry in a few short days and is taking time away from her wedding to search.\u00a0 Just inhale this great read.<\/p>\n

Another perfect performance comes from Hank Phillippi Ryan, deep into her thriller career.\u00a0\u00a0One Wrong Word<\/em> is the story of Arden, who is just being fired from her job as the novel opens.\u00a0 Her boss promises her one last client, as well as a recommendation.\u00a0 The recommendation is a doozy: Arden is to rehab the image of a man who killed someone in a hit and run accident.\u00a0 He’s been exonerated, but the lives of his family are still untenable. Arden convinces the reluctant husband to take her on.\u00a0 As in any Ryan novel, assume anything that you think is true probably isn’t.\u00a0 With the combined skillset of a golden age mystery writer and a writer of contemporary thrillers, Ryan can tell a story like no one else.\u00a0 This one, set in her hometown of Boston, and hinging on the use of words themselves, is a storytelling triumph.<\/p>\n

Sarah Stewart-Taylor turns in a melancholy look back to the 1960’s with her masterful Agony Hill.\u00a0 <\/em>The book follows the story of newly appointed Vermont State Police detective Franklin Warren, who has moved to Bethany, Vermont, from his police job in Boston after a personal tragedy. He’s immediately called to the scene of a fire, and charged to discover the cause of the fire and if the man inside died by suicide or some other means. It’s the story of the dead man’s family, as well as the story of the hardscrabble life in a small town in Vermont.\u00a0 This is an immersive reading experience and an all-encompassing human story.<\/p>\n
