The In Crowd
by Charlotte Vassell
🏆 Winner of the 2025 Edgar Allan Poe Awards
The In Crowd by Charlotte Vassell is the second book set in high society London and featuring Detective Inspector Caius Beauchamp. The Other Half is the first, and may be worth reading first because while two cases are investigated in The In Crowd, a lot of the book's energy comes from the characters. These include a beautiful milliner, Calliope Foster, as the love interest.

Welcome to our running list of the best mystery books of 2025, which we’ll be updating throughout the year. Our definition of mystery is broad, and can include any novel that has a crime at its heart with (ideally) an unexpected plot twist. Throughout the year, we’ll be looking out for new mystery books as they’re published and adding them whenever we think they’re worth reading.
