The 'Sherlock Holmes' stories, especially 'A Scandal in Bohemia', have elements of a love story. Holmes has a complex relationship with Irene Adler. While it's a mystery story mainly about solving a case, the undercurrent of Holmes' respect and perhaps a touch of unspoken affection for Adler adds a love - story aspect to the classic mystery.
One great mystery book with a love story is 'The Thirteenth Tale' by Diane Setterfield. It weaves a complex mystery around the life of a famous author while also exploring themes of love, family secrets, and identity. The relationship between the biographer and the author she is researching has elements of a love story that add depth to the overall plot.
I'd suggest 'Gone Girl' by Gillian Flynn. It's a mystery full of twists and turns. The relationship between Nick and Amy Dunne is at the heart of the story. Their marriage is filled with secrets, and as the mystery unfolds, we see how their love has become something dark and twisted. It's a fascinating exploration of a relationship within a mystery context.
