"I'm interested in thrillers that explore the fallout of a crime. Who does it impact, and how? What is justice? Think A GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO MURDER, NOTHING CAN HURT YOU, MY FLAWLESS LIFE, and JACKAL."
Rose Ferrao #MSWL

"Send in your stylish mysteries and thrillers. I want bold, fun, and clever takes on the genre’s common tropes like KNIVES OUT, KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE, and WHITE COLLAR. I'm looking for the next THE BIG SLEEP by Raymond Chandler."

On the lookout for a propulsive thriller with women teaming up not tearing each other down #MSWL

Adult genre fiction, especially horror (send all your horror!!!), mystery/thriller, and romance. Selectively happy to consider sci-fi and fantasy.

And as many know I’ve spent a long time in children’s, and I’m still considering all children’s titles for Zando. Many more…

I've updated my #MSWL for 2026!

I'm still very focused on Crime, Mystery, Suspense, and Thrillers, but I'd also love to find upmarket/BookClub, Literary fiction, and True-crime!

"Send me thrillers (legal, medical, political, etc.) and mysteries (cozy, private eye, police procedural, etc.)"

"Send me thrillers like WHAT HAVE YOU DONE by Matthew Farrell."

"I would love an atmospheric environmental thriller or mystery akin to WILD DARK SHORE by Charlotte McConaghy or FORCE OF NATURE by Jane Harper where the wild setting is a main character."

My top two #mswl wishlist items for 2026 are:
- an exciting adult mystery or thriller with something to say. Something that feels like Alyssa Cole's WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING or
kellyekell.bsky.social's MISSING WHITE WOMAN
- mg or ya set in Appalachia by someone from there. Especially with 🏳️‍🌈 or ♿️ rep

I’d love to read more first person mystery and thrillers! Especially with Female main characters! #mswl

"I'm seeking supernatural and psychological thrillers."

"I'm interested in upmarket thrillers that use an engaging thriller premise to explore personal/social issues – THE ECHO WIFE and WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING are two of my all-time favorites."
Rose Ferrao #MSWL

"I would love atmospheric and speculative mysteries and thrillers that skew psychological and cerebral with unreliable narrators. Stories where the setting is the main character and characters have full and dynamic backstories!"
Marina Green #MSWL

I’m 19% into The Chain by Adrain McKinty and I’d love to this kind of thriller in my query inbox! #mswl

In addition, I'm looking for adult genre fiction, ranging from romance, mystery/thriller, and selectively sci-fi and fantasy. #Agents send me the things that blur genre too. #mswl

🫨 thrillers with absolutely unpredictable endings, I neeeed something in the vein of We Were Liars where the twist slaps you in the face and you get SO mad and rate it 3* on Goodreads and then go back a month later to rate it 5* because you’re STILL thinking about it

it’s spooky season and I want to read some spooky queries 👻 I’m still very much on the hunt for horror and thrillers in both MG (is MG thriller a thing? it should be…) and YA! here are a few concepts really piquing my interest right now 👇🏻🎃 #mswl #amquerying
