The Prey series by John Sandford.
The Myron Bolitar series by Harlan Coben , especially if you like snark with your mysteries.
The Virgil Flowers series by John Sandford. All are my go to books for mysteries/thrillers. I read them without reading the blurbs.

Sue Grafton’s books are good murder mysteries: A-Y. I’ve read them all by “Y.” And sadly, she passed away and we’ll never be able to read a new book by her.

Agatha Christie is still stellar. SOmeone is always murdered in her books. Try The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, one of my faves for truly unexpected endings.
