☆ Shortlisted for the 2025 Edgar Allan Poe Awards
My Favorite Scar is by Argentinian author Nicolás Ferraro and was translated from Spanish by Mallory Craig-Kuhn. It's been described as a noir coming-of-age story. The main character is a 15-year-old girl who is being brought up by her incorrigible criminal father. She dresses his bullet wounds and has her own shotgun—but what she really wants is to stay in one place and lead a normal life.

The Best Mystery Books of 2025
Welcome to our running list of the best mystery books of 2025, which we’ll be updating throughout the year. First up is the shortlist of the 2025 Edgar Allan Poe Award for best novel, the most prestigious U.S. mystery book prize. Bear in mind that these are books from the previous year (rather than the very latest) with the advantage that they’re already likely to be in paperback or will be soon.
