The Best New Crime Fiction of June 2019
Summertime and the reading are easy and everything is murder-y. Er, at least in these crime books coming out in June. There’s a PI, a locked-room puzzle mystery, a jilted women obsessed with true crime, cults, and an FBI analyst. Basically, something for everyone, so pick your poison and get to solving!
I’m already a big fan of Mina’s—Tana French fans should definitely be reading her—so a new novel is like catnip to me. Murder-y catnip. This is a super interesting premise—imagine your spouse left you for your best friend, and took your kids, so you found yourself obsessing over a true crime podcast where you swear you know one of the victims. OMG! Seriously, this is like the perfect bananapants setup for Mina to flesh out with her amazing and deeply written characters.

If you’ve been waiting for the second book in the Invisible series: Happy pub month to you! Or if you’re a fan of FBI procedurals, you’ll want to check out this series. FBI analyst Emmy Dockery is one of those characters with the Sherlock bug—she sees what everyone else misses in the patterns of murders and crimes. But has she finally found her match with a string of “accidental” deaths across the country? I for one have all the faith my gal will get this solved while giving me a good heart-racing read!
