Stylish mysteries and thrillers that rely on tropes but make them feel new. Give me the modern-day The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler. #MSWL

#MSWL : Psychological thrillers. If I don’t start doubting everyone by chapter three, what are we even doing? Bonus points for unreliable narrators, characters making very bad decisions, and at least one scene where I gasp out loud. 🔍😵 #amquerying

It's #MSWL day!! I'm currently closed to queries and working my way through, so this is going to be VERY specific. I'm hungry for BIPOC sports- and hobby-centric MG and YA. And in adult, BIPOC-led mysteries (including cozies) and thrillers. I don't get enough of either of these!! Link below:

Please be nice and don't use this link unless your work truly matches. If it doesn't match and it's submitted using this link, it's an automatic pass from me.

- YA mysteries that feel like Truly Devious or One of Us is Lying

- YA psychological thrillers like We Were Liars

- YA horror that is gently spooky and also very dark YA horror

Happy #MSWL Day!
Check out my current wishlist. Please, peruse my interest in Adult Thrillers/Suspense AND Narrative Nonfiction in particular.
www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/uwe-stender/

Just a reminder, while I am open to all speculative fiction, I'm really looking to fill some *specific* areas:

High heat romantasy
Non-western fantasy
YA + MG horror/horror romance
YA + MG mystery/thriller

(Here are some past visual #MSWL )

*note, I do not represent these books*

I'm drawn to books that are psychological, whether that means a psychological thriller, a novel with a really strong character, or a narrative nonfiction psychology book. #MSWL

3/ THRILLERS: transportive and escapist, with psychological depth. Vacations/retreats gone wrong, atmospheric settings (Southern, coastal, rural), carefully plotted misdirections. Think "The Guest List," "The White Lotus," "The Plot." High-quality writing at the line level is a must.

1/ First things first: my name is Ginger and I'm an agent at Movable Type Management. I represent books for adults (sorry, no YA/MG/Kidlit) across all genres. I'm looking for commercial and upmarket women's fiction—especially thrillers, rom-coms, mysteries and select horror...

So excited for #MSWL day today! I'll post separate threads with specifics for each genre, but here's a big picture look at what I'm acquiring:
- horror
- romance
- mysteries
- thrillers
- cultural criticisms / narrative nonfiction / true crime
- lifestyle guides / gift books

Can't wait! 💖💖

#MSWL : Thriller rom-com? Mystery rom-com? Say less. High stakes, sharp banter, and just enough danger to make the romance hit harder?! If your book feels like a heist, a scandal, or a crime gone delightfully off the rails with kissing? Yes. 🔪💋 #amquerying

I updated my #MSWL profile for #MSWL Day! I'd love to read a diverse, feminist or LGBTQ+ mystery or thriller...And I'm more interested in Europe than USA... manuscriptwishlist.bsky.social

I also would love a lesbian thriller that could be comped to Master of the House or Steadman's The Family Game. #MSWL

In Thrillers, I’m still looking for anything that could described as BIPOC Dan Brown. But I’m also generally on the look for a super fast-paced thriller with enormous stakes, anything about a normal person (no law enforcement or military) going against those in power. #MSWL

Happy #MSWL day! I’d love to see more thrillers in my inbox. All sorts: procedurals, psychological suspense, domestic, espionage, assassin. All commercial thriller, all day.

Happy #MSWL 2025 day. I'm still open on querymanager These days I'd love to see #timetravel or #multiverse portals but grounded in reality as much as possible. Always on the hunt for #mystery #suspense #thrillers , strong voice and characters a must. querytracker.net/query/1731

Give me super twisty, weird, notable adult thrillers that leave you guessing (but when you look back, it all clicks into place) #MSWL
