I have a confession to make: this blog post was originally supposed to be my βMost-Anticipatedβ summer books listβ¦but then life got really busy! Before I knew it, I looked up and it was July, and not only had a bunch of the books on the list already been published, but I realized that I had actually already read all of the books I wanted to include in this list anyway. So instead of making this a βmost-anticipatedβ list, Iβve culled my initial list a little bit and converted it into a βmust-readβ list, highlighting my picks for the best new crime fiction that Summer 2022 has to offer. In a way, I hope that this new format might actually be even more helpful for you; these arenβt just books Iβm anticipating, theyβre all books Iβve read and loved and highly recommend! From returning favorites to new-to-me voices, from twisty psychological thrillers to βbook within a bookβ-style stories and more, Summer 2022 has some absolutely incredible new crime fiction releases in store for us. Whether your idea of a perfect βbeach readβ is a page-turning domestic suspense novel or a dark, visceral horror story, Iβm betting (and hoping!) youβll be able to find it on this list. Without further ado, letβs dive on in to my picks for Summer 2022βs Must-Read Crime Books!
