"These are just a few of the witnesses and suspects, the investigators and the victims, in our roundup of the most popular mysteries and thrillers of the year (so far). As per tradition, the titles here are sequenced by overall popularity, determined by what readers are putting on their Want to Read shelves. The list represents all books published since the beginning of 2022 through the end of July, with a 3.5 or higher average star rating.

Some interesting trends from the year so far: Debut authors such as Brendan Slocumb and Jane Pek are doing interesting new things with the form, while SFF fans will want to check out the mischievous genre blending from authors Rob Hart and Peng Shepherd.

Eagle-eyed readers will also note that this collection features at least one universally beloved country music star. See if you can spot the culprit."
