Perla Wutz is one of my favorite main characters of the year. This book made me realize how much I love villain protagonists.
Perla is a suburban mom that enjoys lying, stealing attention, and obsessing over a murder that happened decades prior.

Set against the backdrop of the 1974 Boston school desegregation, a rough-edged Irish American mother will do anything to find out what happened to her missing daughter.
Small Mercies by Dennis Lehane is dark, thrilling, and at times heartbreaking.

The Clatter Man establishes the folklore behind a Candyman-esque killer.
You can tell the author @j-schiecke.bsky.social loves the horror genre by how she pays homage to the tropes while still making the scenes her own.

I'm Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid is a haunting and cerebral story. Im not even sure how to describe it without spoiling anything.
It's a short read, just give it a shot.

Favorite books of 2025: Book 1
Possibly my favorite character arc ever took 20 years to turn a 12-year-old orphan into a federal investigator.
THE INVESTIGATOR by John Sandford follows Letty Davenport investigating stolen oil and murder in West Texas.

The final book of my #52booksin52weeks challenge was King of Ashes by @blacktopkid.bsky.social . I've read four books of his this year and this one had the bleakest ending, but also some of the most real characters I've read in a crime novel. #booksky #bookrecommendations #readingchallenges
