New Mystery and Crime Fiction - Coming Soon

New releases in mystery and crime fiction, due to be published in October and November 2025 in the UK, and roughly sorted in date order. This page is updated frequently with the latest book announcements, so keep checking back, or sign up to our newsletter to receive new title information each week.

Not enough new crime fiction? On our forthcoming page we list titles that are further ahead, but are not yet available for pre-order from Gumshoe Books (because we think that pre-ordering months in advance is playing silly business ... please let us know if you disagree!).
