TOP 10 CRIME READS OF 2025! This was my greatest reading year ever. Over the course of the past 12 months, I checked out four hundred and fifty-seven 2025 mystery/suspense/thrillers. I say "checked out" because while I started four hundred and fifty-seven books, I DNF'd (did not finish) about 20-25% of them. I try to give a book 50 pages before I abandon it so I think a 20-25% abandonment rate is fair. On the flip side, of those four hundred and fifty-seven titles, I can heartily recommend 45 of them - an approval rate of about 10% which I think is also fair. I am, admittedly, a very hard read. I went over that Top 45 list and narrowed it down to a Top 25 (which was tough) and then narrowed THAT list down a Top 10 (which was even tougher). I'm sure critics and award associations will have their opinions on what should and should not make a Best Of 2025 list but given that I'm pretty damn sure none of them checked out over four hundred and fifty books this year, I'd argue I am in a better position to offer an informed opinion. So, without further ado, here are my TOP 10 CRIME READS of 2025 - the creme de la creme top 2.2%. Cozy mysteries, police procedurals, heists, historical crime fiction, domestic and legal thrillers - there's a little something for everyone... 1/

That goggins / rockwell meet up on white lotus was lifted out of a @pdchoffman novel. Foreboding, strangely touching and profound in the best fucked up noir way.
