What a great way to build up excitement for books yet to be released. I already had at least one book on preorder and now I'm adding a few more! Just enough shared from each new title to make me want more.

I love these samplers! They are my favorite for learning about new books to look out for in the next few months!

The Minotaur Sampler is a great way to get acquainted with upcoming titles. Samples of six books to read, thrillers or mysterys. I liked “The Serial Killer’s Guide to San Francisco” by Michelle Chouinard the best & look forward to reading it!

Thank you to NetGalley & St. Martin’s Press for access to the sampler.

This was a fun way to find new titles. I was specifically interested in A New Lease on Death but loved all of them. I'll definitly be adding these to my TBR.

I love reading these samplers. They always give a good size portion of new books to read. This one had at least two that I am definitely going to put on my TBR list.

So excited for these titles. I have been waiting for these and can’t wait to dive in. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the samples.

Thank you so much to Minotaur for this sampler. I am especially interested in The Gardener's Plot. I can't wait to dig into some of these titles.

I always look forward to these samplers. I've had my eye on a few of these books and reading a short blurb helps me decide whether to proceed with reading the full book or not.

As a mystery and suspense enthusiast, this sampler of upcoming novels was a fantastic find! I often feel overwhelmed when choosing which books to buy or request, given the plethora of options available. This sampler made it easier to decide which titles to prioritize and which might not suit my tastes as much as I expected. I'm particularly excited about "A New Lease on Death" by Olivia Blacke. The first few chapters have already hooked me and I can't wait to see where the rest of the story goes!

Thanks to NetGalley & St. Martin's Press for the ARC!

Love these Minotaur samplers! Volume 12 includes previews of upcoming releases by Deborah J. Benoit; Olivia Blacke; Michelle Chouinard; Julia Dahl; P. J. Nelson; Sharon Short.

Thank you to #NetGalley and #StMartinsPress #MinotaurBooks for #TheMinotaurSamplerVolume12. All opinions are my own.

Here is the twelfth edition of one of my favorite reads. These samplers offer such a good way to learn about forthcoming mystery titles. I now know that I want to read just about every one of the books featured on the cover.

Read the book descriptions. Take a look at the generous excerpts and learn about the authors. Then make your choices! What fun.

Many thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press-Minotaur Books for this title. All opinions are my own.

I so appreciate that NetGalley has samplers like this one because it helps me decide what to request on NetGalley and from the library!

Such a fun Minotaur thriller/mystery sampler! 6 blurbs and samples of upcoming novels. I am most intrigued by Trouble Island by Sharon Short! Check this out!

Thank you Minotaur books for the esampler!

Absolutely LOVE these excerpts! I get a preview of exciting upcoming titles, many first of new series, and can get a sense of whether these books will be ones that I will want to request from Netgalley for review and to simply enjoy as a reader. Thank you!

I adore Minotaur samplers and this is the best one yet! A terrific way to get a "taste" of fab books to add to your TBR.

A great overview of upcoming releases. I don't generally read much outside of fantasy these days so it was helpful to get suggestions for other genres. I liked that this included a synopsis and enough chapters to really decide if you are interested or not. I found a few titles to add to my TBR. I will definitely look at these overviews in the future.

Easy to navigate between books, the excerpts and chapters give you a brief but enticing view into these upcoming novels. It’s just enough of a preview to spark your interest. Not only can you find new genres or authors but also getting this preview helps prevent requesting books you won’t enjoy. I’m a fan of St. Martin’s Press & Minotaur Books so choosing this sampler was a no-brainer for me. I had been eying a couple of these titles previously and being able to read these excerpts helped make my decisions on upcoming reads. Thanks for providing this!

Love the samplers!! Reading excerpts to decide what books to request is very helpful. Thank you.
I received a complimentary copy of this sampler. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
