Perry Mason Canceled After Two Seasons on HBO

For fans of fun thrillers and shows like Castle and Dexter where it’s just ridiculous enough to make it entertaining and not real or stressful!

Martin Reese has created a really unique profession for himself: he pays a cop to give him unsolved cases and then he solves the case, finds the body, and anonymously calls it into the police. It’s all fun and games until a killer is pissed his bodies are being found and the crooked cop starts to question this arrangement…

(TW child abuse/ stalking/ suicide/ past domestic abuse mentioned)

For fans of twisty mysteries that want something that feels slightly out of the box!

This has a few interesting angles: it is not about catching a serial killer, nor focused on them; it also has a tiny sci-fi blip of people brought back to life.

Lou was the victim of a serial killer. She is dead. Well her first body is. She was brought back to life by a program that grew a new her from a sampling of her murdered self known as Replication Commission. She knows she was murdered by a serial killer but since short term memory and trauma don’t come through in the procedure, she knows everything about her life except her murder. The serial killer has been caught. She’s in a serial killers survivor group, and home with her husband and her baby. But there are questions that are starting to come up about her murder and, well, maybe things didn’t happen exactly as is believed…

This doesn’t focus on any sci-fi stuff, it’s very much our world with this one twist. So if you normally shy away from sci-fi, this could be a good toe-dip-in-water if you’re feeling a bit adventurous.

For audiobook readers: Rebecca Lowman, who has a lot of thrillers under her belt, narrates.

(TW brief recount of past emotional abuse, domestic murder/ mentions stalking/ past postpartum)
