I Died at Fallow Hall
by Bonnie Burke-Patel
☆ Shortlisted for the 2025 CWA KAA Gold Dagger
I Died at Fallow Hall, by debut author Bonnie Burke-Patel, takes place in a typical English country mystery setting, with a cottage, a cute local village, and a big house where the local lord lives. In tone, however, the book is not light, but quite melancholic—lots of the characters are lonely—or at least reflective. It's a dual timeline story with the action taking place both in the present and in 1967.

The Best New Mystery Books of 2025
Welcome to our running list of the best mystery books of 2025, which we’ll continue to update through the end of the year. A broad range of books are filed under ‘mysteries’ these days, and we try to give a flavour of what’s out there. On this list, we also include books that have been nominated for prestigious awards, like the Edgars in the US and the Dagger Awards in the UK. Bear in mind that these are the best books of the previous year, rather than the very latest—with the advantage that they’re already likely to be in paperback.
