About Red Herring Reads

Who We Are

We’re not a tech company disguised as a book site. We’re readers — curious, clever, and just a little obsessed with solving the next great whodunit.

Our team includes:

• Genre-junkies who can quote Agatha Christie and Tana French in the same breath.

• Indie publishing advocates who love a good underdog story — especially when it involves a debut author knocking it out of the park.

• Content creators and curators who know what makes a book irresistible — and how to get it into the hands of readers who’ll love it.

What We Do

Red Herring Reads is a curated platform designed exclusively for mystery, thriller, and crime fiction fans. Our mission is simple:
Connect great stories with eager readers — and help rising authors get the attention they deserve.

Here’s how we do it:

• Smart Book Recommendations: No algorithm roulette. Just handpicked books by real people who live for plot twists and red herrings.
• Promos Worth Investigating: From killer deals to hidden gems, we surface standout titles across all subgenres — cozy, historical, psychological, procedural, and more.
• Support for Emerging Authors: We champion debut and indie authors alongside household names. Our promos help them grow their audience, one loyal reader at a time.

Why Readers Love Us

We keep it simple:

• You get books you’ll actually enjoy, not just what’s trending.
• You save time sifting through noise and skip straight to the good stuff.
• You join a community of fellow armchair detectives who live for a great twist.

Why Authors Trust Us

Because we know the genre — and the readers.
We’ve designed every feature, promo, and recommendation to help authors stand out in a crowded market. Our tools are built to amplify visibility, drive sales, and grow loyal followings — without breaking the bank.

Our Promise

Red Herring Reads isn’t a one-size-fits-all book site. It’s a mystery lover’s haven. A launchpad for new voices. And a place where every clue really does lead to a great read.
