Tom Ryan’s standalone novels span teen fiction, YA mystery, and adventure stories. His earlier books Way to Go (2012) and Tag Along (2013) are coming-of-age novels for younger readers. Starting with Keep This to Yourself (2019), Ryan shifted toward darker YA mysteries with tighter plotting and higher stakes. I Hope You’re Listening (2020) continued in that vein, following a true-crime podcast host drawn into a real missing-persons case.
His more recent work has broadened further. When You Get the Chance (2021) is a lighter contemporary novel, while The Treasure Hunters Club (2024) mixes mystery with adventure. We Had a Hunch (2025) is his latest release. Across these seven books, Ryan has shown a willingness to try different styles while keeping a strong focus on character and place.
