The best summer reading: 20 crime novels analyzed and discussed

Addictive thrillers, recovered classics, great contemporary series, a couple of comics and a whole selection of current works to enjoy.

I know that summer started a few weeks ago, but we are still in time to recommend a series of novels (and a true crime as a gift) which are worth it for the remaining summer days.

On this occasion I have grouped them by theme because there were several coincidences: two excellent prequels of two contemporary classics, two of crime, two pioneers that come to the forefront, several classics, etc. In addition, I have decided to include some comics (what is being done in the genre is very remarkable). As always, not all of them will make it to the list, but it will be everything I can recommend from what I have read in recent months.
