What are yours?? Leave a comment! I'd love to hear!

1. The Diviners by Libba Bray

So this book is a lot of things at once: mystery, historical fiction, paranormal. It may fall into several genres, but I can't talk mystery without talking The Divners! 1920s NYC with a serial killer on the loose? Yes please!

2. These Shallow Graves by Jennifer Donnelly

Set in 1890s New York, high society Jo dives into the investigation of her father's death...which she believes was no accident. And the twist at the end...whoa!

3. The Devil You Know by Trish Doller

What starts as a road trip adventure turns into a nightmare when eighteen-year-old Cadie realizes that one of the guys she's traveling with is a killer...but which one? Seriously a fun book that will keep you guessing!

Jackaby by William Ritter

4. Do you like twists on the classic Sherlock & Watson characters? Do you like a bit of fantasy mixed with a murder to solve? Start this series like yesterday!

5. This is another one that falls into that is it a mystery or is it historical fiction? Both!! Set in 1943 Amsterdam, Hanneke is used to being asked to find rare items on the black market for her high paying customers and smuggling them in plain sigh of the Nazis. But when a client asks her to find someone, a Jewish teen that seemed to vanish into thin air from a hidden closet in her home, Hanneke finds herself going deeper into the Dutch Resistance as she tracks the girl. (Probably one of my favorite books of 2016!)
