☆ Shortlisted for the 2025 Edgar Allan Poe Awards
Things Don't Break on Their Own is a debut novel by Sarah Easter Collins and, like many books on this year's Edgars shortlist, takes place in the UK. It's about a woman whose sister disappeared 25 years ago, and what happened to her. It's very much focused on the relationships of the various characters and their memories of the past, including the grim shadow of a controlling and unpredictable father.

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.
