Reader’s Choice Giveaway – Summer 2026 Edition – Mystery/Suspense

Hellllooooo Summer and all the lazy days of lounging and reading ahead! Time to stock pile our TBRs with the newest releases so let’s take a look at what’s coming out in July, August and September 2026!

Here’s how this week’s giveaway works: You recommend CHRISTIAN FICTION genre specific titles with release dates in July, August or September 2026 (up to 3 suggestions per genre day) and you have a chance to win one of your recommendations! BUT it’s a little more complicated than that so be sure to read ALL the details before entering.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE: These giveaways are available in paperback or ebook format to US and Canadian readers. Ebooks available internationally if you have a .com kindle account (US Amazon)

Mystery/Suspense Fiction Giveaway Day

To be entered in the draw just leave a comment (or 3) below, including the title(s) of the books in the Mystery/Suspense Fiction genre you would like to win.

Mystery/Suspense Fiction – a full length story or novella or collection of novellas where mystery is an important part of the plot. The hero or heroine (or both) are often in peril (more so in suspense). Can be set in any time period and may cross genres such as Historical, YA, Amish etc and may include dual timelines.

How does it work?

Easy Peasy! Make recommendations in the comment section and if you win, you win the book you suggested.

BUT YOU GOTTA FOLLOW THE RULES


Publication date must be July, August or September 2026

Each day is genre specific, so only submit titles from that genre

Christian Fiction / Closed Door books only please!

You can offer up to three suggestions per genre day BUT they need to be made in 3 separate comments (easier for me to keep track of.)

No email entries this time round since WP comments are working

OF SPECIAL NOTE: IF YOU HAVEN’T COMMENTED ON THIS BLOG BEFORE, YOUR FIRST COMMENT WON’T APPEAR UNTIL I APPROVE IT. AFTER THAT YOUR COMMENTS WILL POST AUTOMATICALLY.

Entrants must submit their own selections (no piggybacking on someone else’s log in.)

It’s helpful to include your email (using AT and DOT instead of @ and . to protect yourself from spammers) but you only need to add it to one of your comments per day. If you choose not to include your email then it’s up to you to contact me if you are a winner.

WINNERS ANNOUNCED ON 

Sunday July 12 2026

    1. Okay, I really love the cover of The Last Noel! I also love suspenseful Christmas novella collections so this one is going on my need to read soon list. And woohoo for another debut author appearance this week. High Exposure looks good as well. I’m excited for all three of these book. Good luck, Tracey!

    1. I’m looking forward to this one too especially now that I know the heroine is an ambulatory wheel chair user. I really enjoyed the first book in the series. Good luck, Diane!

  17. Good morning Kav! Since I don’t read much mystery or suspense, I’m entering book on my husband’s behalf 😊

    Target Down by Ryan Steck (Matthew Redd thriller book 5)

    He’s read every one of these books in the series (more like devoured) and seems to enjoy them very much. I’m always on the lookout for good Christian based thrillers/mystery/suspense books for him that contain little to no romance. 😊

    1. Sigh, what is a suspense novel without romance? Bwahahahaha! Love this recommendation for readers who aren’t into romance, though. I never know what to say to people who ask for suspense minus romance titles. Good luck, Trixi!

      1. Me either Kav! That why it’s so hard to source out these kinds of books for my husband. I mean he does enjoy cozy mysteries but as he says “the romance distracts from the story”……bwahahaha!! 😂

  22. Another favorite genre, although lately I seem to be reading less of these. Fatal Finale by Nancy Mehl. I haven’t read the first two in the series, but I hope to binge all three once this one releases. cilydav at hotmail dot com

    1. I’m too much of a scaredy cat to read Nancy Mehl’s current suspense novels but as I was unpacking my books I came across her earlier series – especially the Mennonite mysteries that I am going to reread soon. I really loved them. Good luck, Cindy!

    1. Thanks for sharing these, Sylvia. Kate Angelo’s look really good. Interesting cover too. I can’t believe that’s a second Warren/Faris books this quarter! How do they do it?! Appreciate you adding to my TBR!

  39. It sounds like this book could work for this category, but I’m not sure.

    1. Yes, The Darling’s Daughter sounds like it contains a mystery even though they haven’t tagged it as one. Investigating a suspicious death sounds suspense-y to me! 🙂 Good luck, Bridget!
