The Post Has Its Say

Now, this is more like it: a “best thrillers of 2023” selection that comprises only a dozen books. These selections in The Washington Post were compiled by contributor Jill Pellettieri:

• All The Sinners Bleed , by S.A. Cosby (Flatiron)
• Bright Young Women , by Jessica Knoll (S&S/Marysue Rucci)
• City Under One Roof , by Iris Yamashita (Berkley)
• The Detective Up Late , by Adrian McKinty (Blackstone)
• The Eden Test , by Adam Sternbergh (Flatiron)
• Exiles , by Jane Harper (Flatiron)
• Happiness Falls , by Angie Kim (Hogarth)
• The Helsinki Affair , by Anna Pitoniak (Simon & Schuster)
• Hot Springs Drive , by Lindsay Hunter (Roxane Gay)
• Pet , by Catherine Chidgey (Europa Editions)
• The Puzzle Master , by Danielle Trussoni (Random House)
• The Traitor , by Ava Glass (Bantam)

Clickety-clack here to read more about those dozen titles.

The fact that the above list focuses on thrillers, and not on crime/mystery fiction in general, leads me to believe there is a second set of choices from this genre yet to come.
