After I saw that “super El Niño” was getting mentioned in the news, I decided to create myself a 2026 summer TBR list for all the armchair reading I’ll be doing to avoid the outside inferno. Thankfully, publishing has gone above and beyond in dropping a ton of new mysteries and thrillers to get your sleuthing on with.

From the recent fun podcast format trope to a high-stakes competition, there is plenty of entertainment for a wide range of tropes and moods in the genre. There’s also fictional true crime writers returning home, queer YA, disaster gays in NY, the missing women trope, Indigenous YA mystery, a Hollywood actor who may have killed his Bollywood wife, twisty thrillers, and more mysteries to solve!
