These lists include ONLY those books I’ve read cover to cover and enjoyed. (If I’d included those titles as well, this list would be considerably longer.)Ī final caveat: I do NOT maintain that these are the very best historical mysteries and thrillers ever written. I’ve also attempted to avoid those that refer to historical events through flashbacks. For example, even though such novels as A Coffin for Dimitrios by Eric Ambler or many of the works of Ross Thomas concern events that are now long in the past, they were written either at or shortly after the time portrayed. Please note that I’m including here only those historical mysteries and thrillers reviewed on this site that have been written long after the events described. Although I’ve loved reading the books in nearly all these series, I confess that Olen Steinhauer’s Yalta Boulevard cycle is my favorite among them.

Many of the titles in the series listed below might individually qualify for the list of my favorites, but I’ve arbitrarily chosen to omit them. This post was updated on October 25, 2022. Within each section, the books are listed in alphabetical order by the authors’ last names. More than 100 individual titles follow further below. Immediately below that section are the 100 books in 14 series of historical mysteries and thrillers reviewed on this site (including only those series in which I’ve read at least three books). They’re divided into three sections, beginning with my selection of the top 10 standalone novels. The following list of more than 200 such novels will certainly prove the point. I have a special weakness for historical mysteries and thrillers.
