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.

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.
