Happy Tuesday, y’all! This week, Jana over at That Artsy Reader Girl is asking us to share books we haven’t reviewed. While there may be a few that I haven’t reviewed, it’s not worth mentioning. If I haven’t reviewed the books on my blog, odds are I have left my thoughts and comments on Goodreads. So, instead, I’m sharing my favorite mysteries I read in 2024.
While some of these books were released in 2024, not all are. I will also share the period in which the books are set. All titles are linked to Goodreads.
Here are eleven of my favorite mysteries I read in 2024 without further ado!

Mysteries are not my type of books so I haven’t read any of these.

I loved The Thursday Murder Club!
Fifty-Four Pigs sounds good.
I like the look of all of those!
Have a great week!
Great change in topic! I can’t wait to read more Thursday Murder Club books and Benjamin Stevenson books. I’ve also been thinking about picking up Killers of A Certain Age recently so I hope to actually pick it up this year 🙂
Love cozy mysteries! Thanks for sharing these. I need to add Chaos at the Lazy Bones Bookshop to my wish list. Osman’s and Rayborn’s books were already there. Thanks for sharing.

Mysteries! I love mysteries. I have read one Colleen Cambridge book which I really liked and want to read more. I am glad to see one of her books make your list! I think all the rest are ones I want to read too and some are even on my TBR. I have read Killers of a Certain Age, which I really enjoyed.
From this list I’ve read The Thursday Murder Club and Killers of a Certain Age and enjoyed both of them! I am interested in checking out Chaos at the Lazy Bones Bookshop, mostly because what a great title! Great post idea, thanks for sharing!
These look great! I have The Thursday Murder Club on my bookshelf, and I’m hoping to read it soon. And I recently got Everyone On This Train Is a Suspect out from the library—let’s see if I can read it soon before it’s due back!
Killers of A Certain Age was so good! I am reading the sequel next week. I also want to get to Thursday Murder Club this year!
I hope to read it soon.

I adore mysteries, so thanks for highlighting your favorites! I read THE THURSDAY MURDER CLUB when it first came out, but never continued on with the series. I need to. Osman’s latest, WE SOLVE MURDERS, was one of my favorite reads of last year. The Benjamin Stevenson series is fabulous. One of my absolute favorites. I also love Raybourn’s Veronica Speedwell series, although I haven’t read anything else by her. *Sigh* So many mysteries, so little time…
Happy TTT!

I haven’t read anything else by Raybourn, but I will have to look her catalog up.

Great list! I’m not a big mystery reader, but I’ve been wanting to give it a try.
I would recomend starting with a cozy mystery. They tend to be a bit more fun and not too detailed on the crime scenes. Chaos at the Lazy Bones Bookshop is a set in a town that loves to celebrate Halloween. To Slip the Bonds of Earth is a historical mystery that is set in the early 1900s and features the Wright brothers.

I really loved the Benjamin Stevenson book when I read them last year.
I don’t think I’ve heard of Everyone On This Train Is a Suspect, but that title alone makes me curious. Another one to add to my mental look-into-adding-to-my-TBR list. 🙂 Thanks for visiting my list today.
The first book in the series is Eveyone In My Family Has Killed Someone. That title is what got me curious about the books. I read that in 2023, and loved it. There’s something about the writing style that is such fun.
Pam
Good pivot! I agree…if it’s a 3 star read and not an arc, I move on!
That is a wonderful list of mysteries, I just added a few to my TBR wants
I did love both the Thursday Murder Club and Everyone On This Train is a Suspect!
Ooh nice topic choice! I’ve read a handful of mysteries last year I’d say. Some books had a mystery in them, but I struggle to say if they were actual mystery reads.
Thanks for visiting my TTT!
I must read the Colleen Cambridge. I liked the first book in the series, but haven’t read the second yet!
There is a third book in the series coming out this year. I can’t wait to read it.
Pam
Everyone On This Train Is A Suspect was amazing!
There’s a fun quality in a lot of these that I like!
I don’t read a lot of mysteries, but some of these look fun! 🙂
I like mysteries and suspense, but I don’t like cozy mysteries. I have no idea why there is a disconnect there, I feel like there shouldn’t be, then continue to try cozies, only to be annoyed when i don’t like it or can’t get into it!
I haven’t read any of these but I do love a good mystery. Thanks for the recommendations.
This is a great list for me because I don’t often pick up mystery novels, but would like to. Thank you for sharing.
I always love the twists you put on the prompts when they aren’t a good fit for you! I’m thrilled to see mysteries featured, and you had such a nice assortment of types. Death at the Sanatorium is going directly onto my TBR, as is the cozy Halloween mystery, so thanks as always for introducing me to new books.
