13 NEW APRIL MYSTERIES, THRILLERS, AND TRUE CRIME FOR CRIMINAL SPRING READING (Book Riot)

Welcome to a new month – and spring! – with plenty of mysteries, thrillers, and true crime to read. Once again there is something for every reading taste – and a ton for readers who read it all!

In the true crime department, there’s a focus on violence against Native American women in America and the rise and fall of D.C. Stephenson, who controlled Indiana through the Ku Klux Klan.

There’s a mystery/horror novel with tribal folklore, the final-for-now book in the Ruth Galloway series (do not shoot the messenger), and fan favorite Megan Miranda has a new tale with the trope of “something bad happened in high school and now those students are reunited for something bad to happen again.”

Domestic suspense fans have a full dish: a “perfect life” woman is found dead at the bottom of her stairs, and now secrets will come out; a British Pakistani actress is definitely hiding something, but is it murdering her husband?; and a couple spends a week at a marriage retreat with all their secrets mounting.

There’s also a coming-of-age tale with a dash of time travel and murder mystery, a middle grade mystery exploring grief, a firefighter mystery (if you can handle the heat!), a fictional sleuth best friend’s with Julia Child, and a James Bond start to a trilogy. Have fun choosing your next read!
