The God of the Woods
by Liz Moore
☆ Shortlisted for the 2025 Edgar Allan Poe Awards
The God of the Woods by Liz Moore falls very firmly into the 'domestic noir' or psychological thriller category. The plot revolves around the disappearance of two siblings, and a lot does happen in the book, but you won't enjoy it unless you enjoy getting inside the head of the different protagonists. It's set at a fancy summer camp in the Adirondack mountains in upstate New York, although a lot of the action also takes place in a nearby mansion, the summer home of the rich New York family that owns the camp and its surrounding woods. As well as being shortlisted for the 2025 Edgar Allan Poe Awards, The God of the Woods by Liz Moore also garnered good reviews in a number of eminent publications, including the New Yorker and the New York Times.

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.
