Kristopher Zgorski’s Top Reads of 2023
bolobooks.com

Kristopher says the following: “I will remind readers that this is my Top Reads list – not necessarily a Best Of list. Certainly these books are worthy of any Best Of list, but since I did not read everything published this year, I always hesitate to call it such and I question any venue that proports to highlight the best as I am fairly sure no one has read all the crime fiction books published in 2023. So remember, this is just my completely subjective list of the Top Reads of those that I experienced this year.”

BEWARE THE WOMAN, Megan Abbott
PENANCE, Eliza Clark
HIDE, Tracy Clark
