Most-Anticipated Fall 2020 Crime Fiction Releases
Organized by Publication Date
WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING by Alyssa Cole
Publication Date: September 1, 2020
Why I’m Excited:
Early reviews for Alyssa Cole’s suspense novel WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING have been outstanding. Billed as “Rear Window meets Get Out,” this book sounds razor-sharp, smart, and timely. This suspense novel tackles gentrification in a Brooklyn neighborhood, and, according to the reviews I’ve read, illuminates threads of American history while also weaving a suspenseful tale that ends in a truly shocking conclusion. I can’t wait to dive in.
About the Book:
Rear Window meets Get Out in this gripping thriller from a critically acclaimed and New York Times Notable author, in which the gentrification of a Brooklyn neighborhood takes on a sinister new meaning…
Sydney Green is Brooklyn born and raised, but her beloved neighborhood seems to change every time she blinks. Condos are sprouting like weeds, FOR SALE signs are popping up overnight, and the neighbors she’s known all her life are disappearing. To hold onto her community’s past and present, Sydney channels her frustration into a walking tour and finds an unlikely and unwanted assistant in one of the new arrivals to the block—her neighbor Theo.
But Sydney and Theo’s deep dive into history quickly becomes a dizzying descent into paranoia and fear. Their neighbors may not have moved to the suburbs after all, and the push to revitalize the community may be more deadly than advertised.
When does coincidence become conspiracy? Where do people go when gentrification pushes them out? Can Sydney and Theo trust each other—or themselves—long enough to find out before they too disappear?
ONE BY ONE by Ruth Ware
Publication Date: September 8, 2020
Why I’m Excited:
Ruth Ware is an auto-buy author for me, and in ONE BY ONE, she gives us another top-notch “locked room”-style mystery—a modern ode to the legacy of Agatha Christie. Following the employees of a start-up called “Snoop,” ONE BY ONE pits employees’ secrets against one another to deadly end. Pick this book up for wintry chills and tense, claustrophobic thrills!
About the Book:
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Turn of the Key and In a Dark Dark Wood returns with another suspenseful thriller set on a snow-covered mountain.
Getting snowed in at a luxurious, rustic ski chalet high in the French Alps doesn’t sound like the worst problem in the world. Especially when there’s a breathtaking vista, a full-service chef and housekeeper, a cozy fire to keep you warm, and others to keep you company. Unless that company happens to be eight coworkers…each with something to gain, something to lose, and something to hide.
When the cofounder of Snoop, a trendy London-based tech startup, organizes a weeklong trip for the team in the French Alps, it starts out as a corporate retreat like any other: PowerPoint presentations and strategy sessions broken up by mandatory bonding on the slopes. But as soon as one shareholder upends the agenda by pushing a lucrative but contentious buyout offer, tensions simmer and loyalties are tested. The storm brewing inside the chalet is no match for the one outside, however, and a devastating avalanche leaves the group cut off from all access to the outside world. Even worse, one Snooper hadn’t made it back from the slopes when the avalanche hit.
As each hour passes without any sign of rescue, panic mounts, the chalet grows colder, and the group dwindles further…one by one.
DON’T LOOK FOR ME by Wendy Walker
Publication Date: September 15, 2020
Why I’m Excited:
It’s been years since I’ve read a Wendy Walker book, and her 2020 release DON’T LOOK FOR ME was the perfect book for me to break my streak with! At the time of writing this blog post, I’m currently reading DON’T LOOK FOR ME—and it’s giving me some very sinister and page-turning psychological suspense vibes. This story follows a woman named Molly who appears to have walked away from her life after tragedy struck her family… but there might be more to the story.
About the Book:
In Wendy Walker's thrilling novel Don't Look for Me, the greatest risk isn’t running away. It’s running out of time.
One night, Molly Clarke walked away from her life.
She doesn't want to be found.
Or at least, that's the story.
The car abandoned miles from home.
The note found at a nearby hotel.
The shattered family that couldn’t be put back together.
They called it a “walk away.”
It happens all the time.
Women disappear, desperate to leave their lives behind and start over.
But is that what really happened to Molly Clarke?
AND NOW SHE’S GONE by Rachel Howzell Hall
Publication Date: September 22, 2020
Why I’m Excited:
This book is definitely going to wind up being one of my favorites of 2020. I was lucky enough to read AND NOW SHE’S GONE earlier this summer, and this is truly one exceptional thriller. AND NOW SHE’S GONE is another psychological thriller exploring the case of a missing woman—but in this case, that woman might just be running from something dangerous in her past. A layered, intricate plot and a compelling protagonist you’ll hope to see more of in the future make this thriller a must-read.
About the Book:
Isabel Lincoln is gone.
But is she missing?
It’s up to Grayson Sykes to find her. Although she is reluctant to track down a woman who may not want to be found, Gray’s search for Isabel Lincoln becomes more complicated and dangerous with every new revelation about the woman’s secrets and the truth she’s hidden from her friends and family.
Featuring two complicated women in a dangerous cat and mouse game, Rachel Howzell Hall's And Now She’s Gone explores the nature of secrets ― and how violence and fear can lead you to abandon everything in order to survive.
TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH by Gilly Macmillan
Publication Date: September 22, 2020
Why I’m Excited:
I love crime books about books and authors, and TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH centers around exactly that kind of premise: it’s a suspense novel about a writer whose talent for making up stories has gotten her in trouble in the past. I love Gilly Macmillan’s writing, and I have a feeling TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH might be my new favorite book of hers!
About the Book:
The acclaimed author of The Nanny and What She Knew—hailed by stalwarts including Ruth Ware, Liane Moriarty, Rosamund Lupton, Tess Gerritsen, and Shari Lapena—returns with another serpentine thriller that cleverly blends atmosphere, tarnished memories, mystery, and twisty secrets from the past into a potent, intense read that will leave you questioning everything you believe.
To tell you the truth . . . everybody lies.
Lucy Harper’s talent for writing bestselling novels has given her fame, fortune and millions of fans. It’s also given her Dan, her needy, jealous husband whose own writing career has gone precisely nowhere.
Now Dan has vanished. But this isn’t the first time that someone has disappeared from Lucy’s life. Three decades ago, her little brother Teddy also went missing and was never found. Lucy, the only witness, helplessly spun fantasy after fantasy about Teddy’s disappearance, to the detectives’ fury and her parents’ despair. That was the start of her ability to tell a story—a talent she has profited from greatly.
And hope to die.
But now Lucy’s a grown woman who can’t hide behind fiction any longer. The world is watching, and her whole life is under intense scrutiny. A life full of stories, some more believable than others. Could she have hurt Teddy? Did she kill Dan? Finally, now, Lucy Harper’s going to tell the truth.
Cross her heart.
THE NESTING by C.J. Cooke
Publication Date: September 29, 2020
Why I’m Excited:
A Gothic suspense novel set in Norway? You’d better believe I’m on board for C.J. Cooke’s THE NESTING. This book sets a chilling suspense story against the backdrop of a “smart house” nestled on the side of a fjord in Norway, and follows a young woman who accepts a nannying job at the house… only to discover that not everything is as it seems. This has Abby written all over it, and I can’t wait to dive in!
About the Book:
The woods are creeping in on a nanny and two young girls in this chilling modern Gothic thriller.
Architect Tom Faraday is determined to finish the high-concept, environmentally friendly home he’s building in Norway—in the same place where he lost his wife, Aurelia, to suicide. It was their dream house, and he wants to honor her with it.
Lexi Ellis takes a job as his nanny and immediately falls in love with his two young daughters, especially Gaia. But something feels off in the isolated house nestled in the forest along the fjord. Lexi sees mysterious muddy footprints inside the home. Aurelia’s diary appears in Lexi’s room one day. And Gaia keeps telling her about seeing the terrifying Sad Lady. . . .
Soon Lexi suspects that Aurelia didn’t kill herself and that they are all in danger from something far more sinister lurking around them.
CONFESSIONS ON THE 7:45 by Lisa Unger
Publication Date: October 6, 2020
Why I’m Excited:
Lisa Unger is an author whose work I’ve only just come to relatively recently, but I’m hooked. Lisa Unger’s writing is inventive, smart, and totally binge-worthy, and her new book looks like it’s poised to deliver another unputdownable reading experience. CONFESSIONS ON THE 7:45 has a Strangers On a Train-inspired plot—it’s a story about chance encounters and their fallout, following a woman who meets a stranger on her daily commuter train and finds her life irrevocably up-ended.
About the Book:
From master of suspense Lisa Unger comes a riveting thriller about a chance encounter that unravels a stunning web of lies and deceit.
Be careful to whom you tell your darkest secrets…
Selena Murphy is commuting home from her job in the city when the train stalls out on the tracks. She strikes up a conversation with a beautiful stranger in the next seat, and their connection is fast and easy. The woman introduces herself as Martha and confesses that she’s been stuck in an affair with her boss. Selena, in turn, confesses that she suspects her husband is sleeping with the nanny. When the train arrives at Selena’s station, the two women part ways, presumably never to meet again.
But days later, Selena’s nanny disappears.
Soon Selena finds her once-perfect life upended. As she is pulled into the mystery of the missing nanny, and as the fractures in her marriage grow deeper, Selena begins to wonder, who was Martha really? But she is hardly prepared for what she’ll discover.
Expertly plotted and reminiscent of the timeless classic Strangers on a Train, Confessions on the 7:45 is a gripping thriller about the delicate facades we create around our lives.
DEAR CHILD by Romy Hausmann
Publication Date: October 6, 2020
Why I’m Excited:
I’ve been waiting to dig into DEAR CHILD for what feels like ages now, and the time has almost come! DEAR CHILD is without a doubt one of the books on this list that I’m most eager to dive into. This psychological thriller has already made a huge splash in Europe, and now it’s coming to the US this fall. This thriller is being billed as a blend of Gone Girl and Room—I simply couldn’t be more excited to give this one a try. It looks like something special.
About the Book:
A windowless shack in the woods. A dash to safety. But when a woman finally escapes her captor, the end of the story is only the beginning of her nightmare.
She says her name is Lena. Lena, who disappeared without a trace 14 years prior. She fits the profile. She has the distinctive scar. But her family swears that she isn’t their Lena.
The little girl who escaped the woods with her knows things she isn’t sharing, and Lena’s devastated father is trying to piece together details that don’t quite fit. Lena is desperate to begin again, but something tells her that her tormentor still wants to get back what belongs to him…and that she may not be able to truly escape until the whole truth about what happened in the woods finally emerges.
INVISIBLE GIRL by Lisa Jewell
Publication Date: October 13, 2020
Why I’m Excited:
Lisa Jewell’s utterly irresistible psychological suspense novels are a recent discovery for me, and boy oh boy am I glad to finally be on the Lisa Jewell train. Jewell’s suspense novels are twisty, dark, and genuinely unputdownable stories, and I cannot wait to get my hands on a copy of her newest, INVISIBLE GIRL. INVISIBLE GIRL is a psychological suspense novel that follows the intersecting lives of individuals who live across the street from one another, and whose lives are all rocked by the disappearance of one of their own.
About the Book:
The author of the “rich, dark, and intricately twisted” (Ruth Ware, New York Times bestselling author) The Family Upstairs returns with another taut and white-knuckled thriller following a group of people whose lives shockingly intersect when a young woman disappears.
Owen Pick’s life is falling apart.
In his thirties, a virgin, and living in his aunt’s spare bedroom, he has just been suspended from his job as a computer science teacher after accusations of sexual misconduct, which he strongly denies. Searching for professional advice online, he is inadvertently sucked into the dark world of incel—involuntary celibate—forums, where he meets the charismatic, mysterious, and sinister Bryn.
Across the street from Owen lives the Fours family, headed by mom Cate, a physiotherapist, and dad Roan, a child psychologist. But the Fours family have a bad feeling about their neighbor Owen. He’s a bit creepy and their teenaged daughter swears he followed her home from the train station one night.
Meanwhile, young Saffyre Maddox spent three years as a patient of Roan Fours. Feeling abandoned when their therapy ends, she searches for other ways to maintain her connection with him, following him in the shadows and learning more than she wanted to know about Roan and his family. Then, on Valentine’s night, Saffyre Maddox disappears—and the last person to see her alive is Owen Pick.
With evocative, vivid, and unputdownable prose and plenty of disturbing twists and turns, Jewell’s latest thriller is another “haunting, atmospheric, stay-up-way-too-late read” (Megan Miranda, New York Times bestselling author).
THE WITCH HUNTER by Max Seeck
Publication Date: October 27, 2020
Why I’m Excited:
All it takes is one quick glance at this book’s plot summary to figure out why I’m excited for it! THE WITCH HUNTER is a Nordic debut that centers around a gruesome murder with apparent ties to witchcraft. Say no more—I am sold. (But if I were to say a little more, I would also add that Finnish crime fiction is very intriguing to me—I’ve read loads of crime fiction from Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Iceland, but I don’t have nearly as much exposure to crime novels from Finland! I’m super excited to expand my Nordic Noir reading horizons a bit more with this chilling-looking thriller.)
About the Book:
A shocking murder in an affluent Helsinki suburb has ties to witchcraft and the occult in this thrilling U.S. debut from Finnish author Max Seeck.
A bestselling author’s wife has been found dead in a gorgeous black evening gown, sitting at the head of an empty dining table. Her most chilling feature—her face is frozen in a ghastly smile.
At first it seems as though a deranged psychopath is reenacting the gruesome murders from the Witch Hunt trilogy, bestsellers written by the victim’s husband. But investigator Jessica Niemi soon realizes she’s not looking for a single killer but rather for dozens of believers in a sinister form of witchcraft who know her every move and are always one step ahead.
As the bodies start piling up, Jessica knows they won’t stop until they get what they want. And when her dark past comes to light, Jessica finds herself battling her own demons while desperately trying to catch a coven of killers before they claim their next victim.
LITTLE CRUELTIES by Liz Nugent
Publication Date: November 10, 2020
Why I’m Excited:
I’ve already had the pleasure of reading this book, and it is just as sharp and intelligent as Liz Nugent’s previous releases. Nugent writes suspense novels that are more focused on the dark side of their characters than on action-packed plots. In LITTLE CRUELTIES, she takes readers inside the heads of three brothers, and lays bare the cruelties that they inflict on one another. This book will get under your skin with the everyday evils it depicts.
About the Book:
Hailed by New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jewell as “a force to be reckoned with,” Liz Nugent is back with a powerful and unsettling new novel that will invite comparison to the bitter relationships in HBO’s blockbuster series Succession, as it follows three brothers, bound by blood but split by fate, and delves into the many ways families can wreak emotional havoc across generations.
All three of the Drumm brothers were at the funeral.
But only one of them was in the coffin.
William, Brian, and Luke: three boys, born a year apart, trained from birth by their wily mother to compete for her attention. They play games, as brothers do…yet even after the Drumms escape into the world beyond their windows, those games—those little cruelties—grow more sinister, more merciless, and more dangerous. And with their lives entwined like the strands of a noose, only two of the brothers will survive.
Crisply written and quickly paced, perfect for fans of breathtaking suspense, Little Cruelties gazes unflinchingly into the darkness: the darkness collecting in the corners of childhood homes, hiding beneath marriage beds, clasped in the palms of two brothers shaking hands. And it confirms Liz Nugent—whose work has invited comparisons to Patricia Highsmith and Barbara Vine and has been celebrated as "captivating" (People) and "highly entertaining" (The Washington Post)—as one of the most exciting, perceptive voices in contemporary fiction.
THE KINGDOM by Jo Nesbø
Publication Date: November 10, 2020
Why I’m Excited:
This one is a no-brainer! THE KINGDOM is my most-anticipated release of all of 2020. Jo Nesbø is my all-time favorite author, and any new book of his is always cause for celebration. THE KINGDOM is a standalone crime novel that is steeped in the gritty atmosphere of its setting: a small town in the mountains of Norway, a place where everyone knows everyone else’s secrets—and some of those secrets are deadly. No two standalone novels that Jo Nesbø writes are ever the same, and in THE KINGDOM, he puts his own dark (very dark) spin on a story of brotherly love. This book is incredible (I’ve already had a chance to read it!) and it’s easily one of my favorite Jo Nesbø books ever.
About the Book:
Roy and Carl have spent their whole lives running from the darkness in their past, but when Carl finally returns to make peace with it, the two brothers are inexorably drawn into a reckoning with their own demons.
Roy has never left the quiet mountain town he grew up in, unlike his little brother Carl who couldn't wait to get out and escape his troubled past. Just like everyone else in town, Roy believed Carl was gone for good. But Carl has big plans for his hometown. And when he returns with a mysterious new wife and a business opportunity that seems too good to be true, simmering tensions begin to surface and unexplained deaths in the town's past come under new scrutiny. Soon powerful players set their sights on taking the brothers down by exposing their role in the town's sordid history.
But Roy and Carl are survivors, and no strangers to violence. Roy has always protected his younger brother. As the body count rises, though, Roy's loyalty to family is tested. And then Roy finds himself inextricably drawn to Carl's wife, Shannon, an attraction that will have devastating consequences. Roy's world is coming apart and soon there will be no turning back. He'll be forced to choose between his own flesh and blood and a future he had never dared to believe possible.
LAZARUS by Lars Kepler
Publication Date: December 1, 2020
Why I’m Excited:
I’m a huge Lars Kepler fan, and in LAZARUS, Kepler will return to a character who is probably the most terrifying villain they have ever crafted: Jurek Walter. (If you’re a Kepler fan, you will already know just how scary this character is!) Kepler writes action-packed, just-one-more-page thrillers, and LAZARUS is poised to deliver another unputdownable reading experience for Kepler’s fans.
About the Book:
Sometimes the past won't stay buried.
A mysterious killer is brutally murdering Europe's most loathsome criminals. When police discover that two of the victims have disturbing connections to Detective Joona Linna, it's clear that somebody's trying to send him a message. As the body count rises, the evidence seems to point to a ghost from Joona's past . . . the most terrifying villain he's ever had to face.
SHED NO TEARS by Caz Frear
Publication Date: December 1, 2020
Why I’m Excited:
I’ve fallen behind on Caz Frear’s books, and it’s about time I got caught up! Caz Frear is the author of one of my most frequently-recommended police procedurals, SWEET LITTLE LIES—and this winter, she brings back her series protagonist for the third installment in this procedural series. If you love police procedurals with a modern sensibility and strong female lead, Caz Frear’s books will be right up your alley.
About the Book:
Four victims. Killer caught. Case closed . . . or is it?
Growing up in a London family with ties to organized crime, Detective Constable Cat Kinsella knows the criminal world better than most cops do. As a member of the city’s Metropolitan Police, she’s made efforts to distinguish herself from her relatives. But leading an upstanding life isn’t always easy, and Cat has come close to crossing the line, a fact she keeps well hidden from her superiors.
Working their latest case, Cat and her partner Luigi Parnell discover a connection to a notorious criminal: serial killer Christopher Masters, who abducted and killed several women in 2012. Though the cops eventually apprehended him, his final victim, Holly Kemp, was never found and he never confessed to her murder, despite the solid eyewitness testimony against him. Now, six years later, the discovery of Holly’s remains near Cambridge seems to be the definitive proof needed to close the case.
Still, a few key items of evidence don’t quite line up. As Cat and Parnell look closer, they find discrepancies that raise troubling questions. But someone will do anything to keep past secrets hidden—and as they inch closer to the truth, they may be putting themselves in jeopardy . . .
SNOWDRIFT by Helene Tursten
Publication Date: December 8, 2020
Why I’m Excited:
Nordic Noir gets a classic crime fiction-inspired twist in Helene Tursten’s excellent series featuring Detective Inspector Embla Nyström. If slow-burn, classic crime-inspired procedurals are your cup of tea, this series will be right up your alley. I love Embla, the protagonist of this series: she’s a woman in her late 20’s who is navigating her career in the police force, and navigating her own personal demons. I can’t wait to see how her character develops in this next series installment.
About the Book:
When a new lead breaks in the cold case that has long haunted Swedish Detective Inspector Embla Nyström, the truth she’s been seeking about her best friend’s disappearance may finally be revealed—if it doesn’t kill her first.
One winter night, 28-year-old Detective Inspector Embla Nyström receives a phone call that sends her reeling. It’s been fourteen years since her best friend disappeared from a nightclub in Gothenburg, but Embla recognizes her voice before the call abruptly disconnects. Embla is thrilled to learn Lollo is still alive, but before she can dive into the case, she gets another phone call—this time from a relative. A man has been found shot dead in one of the guest houses he and his wife manage in rural Sweden. Could she come take a look?
When Embla arrives on the scene, she receives another shock. The dead man is Milo Stavic, a well-known gang member and one of the last people seen with Lollo. And, as Embla soon learns, the same night that Milo was shot in the guest house, his brother Luca was also killed. Why, after all these years, is someone targeting the Stavic brothers, and where is the third brother? With help from a handsome local detective and his police dog in training, Embla launches an investigation into the three Stavic brothers, hoping it will bring her closer to finally finding Lollo and putting an end to her terrible nightmares.
TAKE IT BACK by Kia Abdullah
Publication Date: December 8, 2020
Why I’m Excited:
This book sounds simply incredible. I’ve been struggling to find legal thrillers that catch my eye recently, but if there’s any book that looks poised to break me out of that legal thriller slump, it’s this one. In TAKE IT BACK, readers follow a woman who has secured her place as a rising star at a prominent London law firm, but gives it all up to become an advocate for sexual abuse victims. TAKE IT BACK has earned rave pre-publication reviews and international praise (The Guardian named it one of the best thrillers of 2019!), and it looks seriously compelling.
About the Book:
One victim. Four accused. Who is telling the truth?
Zara Kaleel, one of London's brightest legal minds, shattered the expectations placed on her by her family and forged a brilliant legal career. But her decisions came at a high cost, and now, battling her own demons, she has exchanged her high profile career for a job at a sexual assault center, helping victims who need her the most. Victims like Jodie Wolfe.
When Jodie, a sixteen-year-old girl with facial deformities, accuses four boys in her class of an unthinkable crime, the community is torn apart. After all, these four teenage defendants are from hard-working immigrant families and they all have proven alibis. Even Jodie's best friend doesn't believe her.
But Zara does―and she is determined to fight for Jodie―to find the truth in the face of public outcry. And as issues of sex, race and social justice collide, the most explosive criminal trial of the year builds to a shocking conclusion.
THE DEAD SEASON by Tessa Wegert
Publication Date: December 8, 2020
Why I’m Excited:
One of the most common recommendation requests I receive here on CBTB is for books that put a modern spin on a locked room mystery—and when I get those requests, I always recommend the first book in Tessa Wegert’s Shana Merchant series, DEATH IN THE FAMILY. This winter, Shana is back with a new mystery to solve. I was truly impressed with the first book in this series (catch my full review here!), and I can’t wait to see what Tessa Wegert does next.
About the Book:
Senior Investigator Shana Merchant has spent years running from her past. But she never imagined a murder case would drive her to the most dangerous place of all—home.
After leaving the NYPD following her abduction by serial killer Blake Bram, Shana Merchant hoped for a fresh start in the Thousand Islands of Upstate New York. Her former tormentor has other plans. Shana and Bram share more than just a hometown, and he won’t let her forget it. When the decades-old skeleton of Shana's estranged uncle is uncovered, Bram issues a challenge: Return home to Vermont and solve the cold case, or the blood he spills next will be on her hands.
As Shana interviews members of her family and the community, mining for secrets that could help her solve her uncle's murder, she begins to realize how little she remembers of her childhood. And when Bram grows impatient and kidnaps again, leaving a trail of clues Shana alone can understand, she knows his new victim will only survive if she wins the psychopath’s twisted game. In order to solve one mystery, Shana must wade into her murky past to unravel another.
And that’s a wrap on my Fall 2020 Most-Anticipated Releases list! Are any of these books on your fall wishlist as well? I’d love to hear from you! As always, happy reading! xx A

In this case, that might just mean living in a house that’s haunted. Playful and irreverent, spine-tingling and spooky, The September House puts a fresh spin on the classic haunted house story, delivering an immersive tale about the secrets lurking within one building’s walls, and within the lives of its inhabitants.
