If your form of self-care is taking a few hours to immerse yourself in a twisty thriller, you’re in the right place. We’re compiling the year’s best new mysteries, from The Wife Upstairs by Rachel Hawkins to Sleep Well My Lady by Kwei Quartey. January and February have brought a number of slow-burning psychological thrillers, and we’re not even coming the ones within the YA umbrella. Before you put all of March’s new releases on your loan list, make sure you’ve caught all the buzziest titles ahead. And if you want to switch up the genre a bit, check out our running list of 2021’s best books overall. Happy reading!
