The past few years have seen an explosion of fantastic book-to-screen adaptions of mystery, suspense, conspiracy fiction, adventure fiction, and legal dramas. Whether you’re looking for a true crime film, a fast-pasted detective series, or a thriller with sci-fi elements, you’ll find a new show to fall in love with on this list. Once you’ve watched these shows and movies, you’ll know exactly where to go for more—to the great crime fiction and nonfiction books they’re based on.

 

 

If you’ve got up on all these adaptions, don’t worry: there are more slated for 2023 and beyond!
