Hello again!

I love a good mystery-adventure movie in the Summer. I started writing this thinking I would focus on KNIVES OUT comps - and then I remembered those were Fall/Winter releases - and then I decided to expand the search into IP from other genres that have this element. I know we’re in an era of only going for blockbusters or micro budget films, but I think books with some kind of adventure angle are able to grant more reach to genres that hover in the mid-budget zone.

Here are some currently available titles that fall into this category, (except for one that I haven’t heard back about yet but I’ll update it as I have more information. [EDIT: It’s available!]) and who to get in touch with if you’re interested. A few of my favorites from this list:

  • A classic detective story with a Nathan Fielder edge that follows two investigators solving a crime committed in an eccentric hobbyist community

  • Two books that combine murder mystery and romcom

  • A Jack Ryan-esque espionage adventure told from a family’s perspective

As always, I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

Best,

TIP
