Best Mysteries from the 2010s
Your pick for best mysteries written and published (not set) in the 2010s. That's from Jan 1st 2010 to Dec 31st 2019. Fiction only.
Books published before 2010 will be removed without comment.
Because this is for current books, a minimum of 100 ratings is required. Books with less than 100 ratings will be removed without comment.
For purposes of this list it doesn't matter if the book is a cozy mystery or a crime mystery or a historical mystery or a literary mystery or a general mystery. When in doubt, check the shelves for the book - if it is shelved more than a 100 times as mystery and you want to, put it on this list.
