Sure. 'The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency' by Alexander McCall Smith is a great one. It features a female detective in Botswana, and the stories are full of local charm and quirky characters. Another is 'The Big Sleep' by Raymond Chandler. His detective, Philip Marlowe, is a rather idiosyncratic character, and the plot is filled with unexpected twists.
A detective novel can be considered quirky when it breaks the traditional norms of the genre. It could be in the form of a detective who is not the typical tough - guy or brilliant - mind type. Instead, they might be a bumbling but lucky character. The narrative style can also contribute. If it's told in a very off - beat, humorous way, like the detective constantly making sarcastic remarks about the case or the people involved. The mystery itself might not be the standard 'whodunit' but more about uncovering a strange phenomenon or a series of seemingly unconnected events that turn out to be related in a very odd way. For instance, in some novels, the crime is related to an ancient curse or a magical object that the detective has to figure out.

The introduction of "Strange Things Encountered in the Wilderness": Yuan Ye was a 28-year-old ordinary female employee who was unmarried. Ever since she lost the keepsake her mother had left for her when she graduated from university at the age of 23, she had a series of strange dreams. Not only that, but her father remarried and she returned to Xiaohe Village, where her maternal great-aunt had raised her when she was young. First, the taxi driver sent her here for free and slipped away as she wished. Then, someone who knew her stopped her from going back to the place where she lived before she was five. Yuan Ye hesitated for a moment. After some thought, he asked her from afar,"What's going on here? Why can't I go in?" The other party seemed to be really angry. Seeing that she didn't listen to her, he didn't go over. He jogged to the bridgehead and said to her breathlessly,"Hey, Granny Jin has been dead for more than 20 years. This place has been abandoned for a long time. My grandfather said not to run here for no reason. Be careful not to be entangled by that thing."

Murder Investigation by Moira. Finished, you can read without worry.
Murder Investigation is an amazing novel that seriously narrates the devil's side of human nature. The plot was wonderful, and the logical reasoning was also very strong, making it impossible for people to stop reading. This book was not only a mystery novel, but also a criminal investigation novel that worked hard to solve the case. The author solved the case step by step and pursued the murderer bit by bit, letting the readers feel the excitement and satisfaction of solving the case. At the same time, the relationship between the protagonist, Tony, and He Ning was also enviable. It was so happy to be with the person he loved every day. Through this book, the author showed the other side of human nature, which was amazing. I strongly recommend Murder Investigation. It's a good book that comes once in a century, and it's also another work by Moira. I've already read three of Xiao Mo's works in a row. They're really good. Every single case and the familiar name made people feel that they had always been there and had never left. It's really good. I recommend it to everyone!

One characteristic is unusual settings. For example, they might be set in a post - apocalyptic world or a magical realm that we don't often see in traditional romances.
One great quirky novel is 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' by Douglas Adams. It's full of absurd humor and strange alien races. The plot follows an ordinary man who gets caught up in an intergalactic adventure. Another is 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' which has all those wacky characters like the Cheshire Cat and the Mad Hatter. And 'The Little Prince' is also a bit quirky with its unique take on life and relationships from the perspective of a small alien prince.

1:"I Drive a Lamborghini to Delivery"(Cute and Foolish Miss x Refined and Abstinent Financial Giant)
Recently, Nan Ge had been thinking of replacing his Lamborghini, but he was only short of tens of thousands of yuan. Under her coaxing and pestering, her brother found her a good job with a sense of mission--the Galaxy Stomach Protection Team, or delivery for short.
On her first day of work, she had been physically and mentally disabled all the way. She had delivered the takeout to Shen Yanqing, the big boss in the wealthy district.
--
Shen Yanqing was a legend in the business world of Huai City. He was a low-key person. Those who had worked with him before said that he was a cold immortal with a gentle skin. He seemed gentle and polite, but in fact, he was very heartless.
In an accident, Shen Yanqing met a young lady who he had a good impression of. He thought that it would be difficult to see her again until he ordered takeout on a snowy day. When the door opened, a familiar figure stood at the door.
"Good evening, Mr. Shen. I'm the delivery man from irelyn Restaurant. I wish you a pleasant meal!"
Shen Yanqing thought that Nan Ge was just a poor little girl who worked part-time to study. Since then, he had been taking care of her work. Until one day, his car broke down and he had to go out at the last minute.
"I have a car!" Nan Ge, who heard that he had something urgent to attend to, said.
Shen Yanqing was still hesitating on how to reject her little electric donkey that was leaking air from all sides when he turned around and saw her take out her car key and press it gently.
Not far away, a Lamborghini worth three million flashed its headlights."
"What are you waiting for? Get in the car!"
“……”
2."Beautiful Senior Brother's character has collapsed again": A witty and greedy little liar in the Jianghu. He relied on being a scoundrel to hug a handsome thigh.
Why is it that happiness is the source of disaster, and disaster is the source of happiness?
From then on, she embarked on a sweet path of no return.
"It's mine!" This is my first wife!"
"It's mine! She can open my Settle the Universe!"
"This is my little junior sister and fiancée from my previous life." The sect master of Feather Mountain shook his head and sighed.
"Haven't you heard of the Clear Edge Brew?" The bad-tempered Luo Xianzun asked.
Zhang Ling 'er rubbed her chin,[How much would it be worth if I sold them?]
Xianxia, the first female lead, logical.
3."Little Weeping Bun Loses All His Vest After Prince's Mind Reading":"Wow, Little Brother's Hands Are So Beautiful". A furry paw came over and touched his hand.
[Aiyaya, little brother's face is like a shark!] A shameless little kitten meowed lewdly.
"Hehe, Little Older Brother's embrace is so comfortable. I wonder how many abs there are under my clothes." A shameless little kitten seized the opportunity to burrow into his embrace and wriggled around in all sorts of ways.
……
[Little brother, I want to give birth to your children!]
The Crown Prince, who had been teased eight times a day, was quite calm. He calmly picked up his teacup and leisurely sipped the fragrant tea.
Hmph, if you're so capable, you should change into another person first.
[Little brother, don't be anxious. When I succeed in my cultivation, I'll turn you into a beautiful doll cat. Hehe, then we can have babies. How about it? Are you happy? Are you happy?]
Mu Xichen paused and glanced at the silly cat who was talking to herself. She was speechless.
What a fool.
[Hehe, how many kittens can a kitten give birth to?]
Lin Jiaying, who didn't know that her words had been heard by the reserved Crown Prince, counted her paws happily. Haha, nine babies in a single birth, awesome, right? [Amazing, right?]
The fat snowball had a smug look on its face.[I really want to see Little Brother's surprised face soon…]
"Puff!"
Mu Xichen spat out all the tea in her mouth…
4."His Little Ancestor Is a Meow": Buddhist teenager Jing Yan is actually a cat slave, serving the "cat master" at home!
And one morning, his "cat master" turned into a young girl!
Wang Defa?
Didn't he say that he couldn't become a spirit after the founding of the country?
The sudden turn of events had shattered the peaceful life of Jing Yan, the Buddhist youth, and completely overturned his understanding!
"Jing Yan, I want to eat seafood noodles!"
"Buy!"
"I want to eat dried fish!"
"Buy!"
I just want to spoil you!
[The romantic love between a father-like boyfriend and a cat-like girlfriend]
5."After five prison breaks, I hit the CEO and sent him flying":[Qiang Qiang + Shuang Jie + Super Sweet + Weird]
What was that? Bai Chaoge escaped again?
The King of Gambling had suffered an unexpected disaster. He had never thought that he would be reborn into a girl named Bai Chaoge.
He had escaped from prison, met with a disaster, and provoked the cold-blooded CEO. From then on, it was impossible to escape…
I hope you like these novels.
Well, one characteristic is their off - beat settings. They could be set in a strange little town or an unusual time period. This adds to the quirkiness. Their language use can also be distinct. They might use made - up words or have a very specific dialect. The relationships in quirky feel - good novels are also special. They can be between unlikely pairs of people. And the themes are often about self - discovery or finding joy in the unexpected. Like in 'Ella Minnow Pea', the theme of language and freedom is explored in a very unique and feel - good way. These novels make you see the world a little differently and leave you with a smile on your face.
One popular quirky love novel is 'The Rosie Project' by Graeme Simsion. It tells the story of a genetics professor with Asperger's syndrome who embarks on a quest to find the perfect wife. Another is 'Eleanor & Park' by Rainbow Rowell, which has a unique take on young love with its misfit characters. And 'The Time Traveler's Wife' by Audrey Niffenegger is also quite quirky as it involves a man who time - travels involuntarily and his relationship with his wife.
One great example is 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' by Douglas Adams. It's full of absurd humor and unique alien species. The plot is constantly twisting in unexpected ways, making it a truly quirky read. The characters, like the two - headed Zaphod Beeblebrox, are charmingly odd.
