Best Mystery/Thriller Book Review Blogs in 2026

https://www.compulsivereaders.com/

My name is Tracy and I’m a bookaholic. It’s been 35 minutes since I last bought a book and despite having over 450 books on my kindle, 200 books on my bookshelf I can’t stop buying more books. I receive loads of books to read from the publishers and Netgalley – but will only be recommending the books that I think are brilliant. Some you will agree with me about, and others you will hate – and that’s what makes reading so wonderful. Enjoy!

The blog consists of Shelly (me) and my two reviewers, Beth and Lourdes. We accept review requests based on our schedules. Our calendars fill up pretty quickly, so if you are looking for a review we need at least 8 to 12 weeks prior notice before its released or 8 to 12 weeks to read and review after release.

For the most part, I am avid book reader. I will try a wide range of books, with one exception: romance. I have never been able to engage with books of this genre, so please keep this in mind when requesting a review.

I read a variety of genres but you will normally find me reading UK based police procedurals and psychological thrillers, well researched historical fiction, and I’m partial to a bit of chick lit (or Choc Lit as I prefer to call it) of the more intelligent and humorous kind. I also enjoy quirky and interesting novels and what would be described as women’s fiction/romance but not of the Mill’s and Boon variety (nothing wrong with M&B just not my thing).

I am not a professional reviewer, and I adore books, and I see reviewing books as a way to ‰ÛÏpay‰Û for my addiction to reading. Books are a way of learning more about the world, seeing it from someone else's perspective, traveling to different places and times, discovering how other people live.

The blog was initially designed to share a few thoughts about the books I read and that's the aspect I still enjoy most. I don't give star ratings as my 5 stars might be someone else's 3 so I say what I thought instead, trying to be as honest as I can and I make the review personal to me as a reader. After a few months of blogging I realised just how hard it is for smaller publishers and independent authors to get their books noticed so I'm always willing to feature them if I can.

My name is Eva (pronounced Ava) and my favourite thing to do in the world is read. If I can't be reading, I'd like to be talking about books. I'm really good at recommending books to other people and one day I decided to take that to the next level and blog about books.

I worked in the Canadian publishing industry for 7 years, and loved every minute of it. Now I write book reviews for various publications, and I'm the books columnist for CBC Calgary's Homestretch. I'm the Past President of the Writers' Guild of Alberta Board of Directors and I host various literary events around the city. The majority of the books I review on this blog have been sent to me from the publisher in exchange for an honest review, and all opinions are my own.
