As National Crime Reading Month comes to an end, we all know the mystery doesn’t stop there!

Crime fiction remains one of the nation’s favourite and most widely read genres, with something to suit every reader. Whether you enjoy gripping psychological thrillers, classic whodunnits, cosy village mysteries or fast-paced detective novels, there’s always another page-turner waiting to be discovered.

From the latest titles in the branch to the icy, chilling reads available anytime on BorrowBox there’s no shortage of great stories to explore.

Why not step outside your usual reading habits and try a new author, series or style?
