Yes. 'Sherlock Holmes' stories by Arthur Conan Doyle are must - reads in the fictional murder mystery genre. Holmes' brilliant deductions and the Victorian London setting add to the charm. 'The Big Sleep' by Raymond Chandler is also a good pick. It features a private detective investigating a case full of murders and corruption. And 'In the Woods' by Tana French is interesting. It's about a detective trying to solve a murder while dealing with his own past traumas.
One great fictional murder mystery short story is 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue' by Edgar Allan Poe. It's considered a pioneer in the detective story genre.
I also recommend 'Red Dragon' by Thomas Harris. It's the prequel to 'The Silence of the Lambs'. It introduces the character of Hannibal Lecter in a very interesting way and has a great serial - killer - hunting plot.
Sure. 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' by Stieg Larsson is a great one. It has a complex plot full of mystery and a very interesting female lead. Another is 'And Then There Were None' by Agatha Christie. It's a classic murder mystery with an isolated setting and a series of murders that keep you guessing until the end.
There's also 'Milwaukee Mystery: The Case of the Hidden Killer'. This book offers a unique take on murder mystery in Milwaukee. The story unfolds gradually, with the detective having to piece together various clues scattered across the city. The descriptions of Milwaukee add an extra layer of authenticity to the mystery.
Well, 'Murder on the Orient Express' by Agatha Christie is a must - read. Hercule Poirot has to solve a murder that occurs on a train. It's full of interesting characters and a very clever plot. 'The Big Sleep' by Raymond Chandler is also excellent. The detective, Philip Marlowe, gets involved in a case filled with mystery and danger. And 'In the Woods' by Tana French is a good choice too. It has an atmospheric setting and a mysterious storyline.
Sure. 'In the Woods' by Tana French is a good choice. It's about a detective who has to revisit a case from his own past that involves a murder in the woods. The story is full of mystery and the police procedures are well - described. Also, 'Silence of the Lambs' by Thomas Harris. It features the FBI (a form of police work) trying to catch a serial killer with the help of the infamous Hannibal Lecter.
Well, I'd suggest 'Murder on the Orient Express' also by Agatha Christie. The story takes place on a train and Hercule Poirot has to solve a murder with a limited number of suspects. 'The Big Sleep' by Raymond Chandler is a great noir - style murder mystery. And for a more modern take, 'The Silent Patient' by Alex Michaelides is a good choice. It has a really interesting premise where a woman who killed her husband stops talking.
One great book is 'Murder on the Orient Express' by Agatha Christie. Although it's on a train, Christie is a master of the murder mystery genre and her style can be seen in many cruise - ship based mysteries. Another is 'Death on the Nile', which actually takes place on a Nile steamer, similar to a cruise ship setting, also by Christie.
For beginners, 'And Then There Were None' by Agatha Christie is a great start. It's easy to follow and has a really engaging plot. Another good one is 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' by Arthur Conan Doyle. It has the famous Sherlock Holmes and a spooky mystery on the moors. 'The Westing Game' by Ellen Raskin is also suitable. It's a YA murder mystery that has a lot of fun twists and turns.
One great book is 'In Cold Blood' by Truman Capote. It details the real - life murders of the Clutter family in Kansas. It's a chilling account that reads like a thriller.
