MacKenzie Reed recommends

A Beautiful and Terrible Murder (2025)
(Irene Adler , book 1)
Claire M Andrews
"Irene Adler is a compelling protagonist with a burning secret - and on a mission to catch a murderer. A Beautiful and Terrible Murder is a delightful read that plunges you into a mystery set at a supposedly haunted school full of adversaries and unlikely allies where no one is quite who they seem."

Kill the Lax Bro (2025)
Charlotte Lillie Balogh
"Nostalgic '90s vibes mash with a punchy multi-POV narrative to create a thrilling mystery that's impossible to put down. Kill the Lax Bro is the ultimate get-back-at-your-ex book - whether the ex is a boyfriend, best friend, or otherwise - and follows an unlikely yet endearing crew bent on serving up karma. Balogh's debut is a reading rush you won't want to miss."
