My Top 3 March 2025 Reads

I read nine books in March, one more than the eight I’ve managed for the past few months. Observant followers of my blog will note I used to share my top five reads from the previous month but I’ve decided to reduce that to reflect I’m getting through fewer books than I used to. This feels like a better way to highlight books I absolutely loved, not just enjoyed. Links from each title will take you to my full review.

Check out all the books I’ve read so far in 2025 here. If weโ€™re not already friends on Goodreads, send me a friend request or follow my reviews.

My thanks to Headline, Abacus and John Murray for the review copies via NetGalley.


Five Stars

A Death in Berlin by Simon Scarrow (Headline) – a brilliant historical thriller set against the backdrop of real events with a leading character you canโ€™t help but root for

Five Stars

The Mouthless Dead by Anthony Quinn (Abacus) – an imaginative and compelling take on a true crime story

Broken Country by Clare Leslie Hall (John Murray) – a beautifully written book that combines an intense and heartbreaking love story with elements of a thriller

What were the best books you read last month? Have you read any of my picks?
