My Favorite Scar
by Mallory Craig-Kuhn (translator) & Nicolás Ferraro
☆ 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 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.
