Itβs the most wonderful time of the year: Halloween season is upon us! I firmly believe that you can read thrillers any time of year, but thereβs something undeniably perfect about digging into a dark, creepy crime novel in the lead-up to Halloween. Honestly, every year I have a little bit of a hard time coming up with a list of Halloween reading recommendations, not because I donβt have enough books to recommendβquite the opposite! Just about every single book Iβve ever talked about here on Crime by the Book could be a great Halloween read, and that can make narrowing down my lists of Halloween reading recommendations really tricky. But Iβm up for the challengeβand Iβm thrilled with how this yearβs reading list turned out! For this yearβs Halloween reading list, Iβm focusing on new (or new-ish!) releasesβprimarily books that have been published in 2022, with a few slightly older releases in the mix, too. Happy reading, and happy haunting!
