As I mentioned on the blog here earlier this week, this is the best time of year to get up to speed on Mysteries. Booklist knows this as well as May has always been their Spotlight on the genre.
Below is the TOC with links to the content you can use to get up to speed on the current state of Mysteries and Thrillers.
Please note, I have added backlist access links to the adult top 10 lists. Much like I said earlier this week about using the backlist of trends to get a fuller picture of where the genre has been, where it is now, and where it might be going, you need to look back at the last few years as well as be aware of the current "best" titles.
And don't forget, every issue of Booklist Magazine is a spotlight on a genre or format or topic, making every issue an invaluable resource beyond just the reviews.
