Recommendations for a murder mystery book? I don’t think i have ever read one.
The Dry
Second this!
Yes! I agree as well. I couldn’t put it down!
Ann Rule books
If you like historical fiction Sharon Kay Penman has a murder mystery trilogy set in medieval Europe. Kinda a nice combo
It’s called the Justin de Quincy series
Pretty Dead Girls by Monica Murphy
The Surgeon.
I like this one
Murder on the Orient Express
I didn’t read many of them but Agatha Christie was the queen
JD Robb In Death series
They all sound good. Murder on the orient express got me thinking about the queen of murder mystery. Agatha Christie. I want to watch the movie murder on the orient express so I’m going with and then there were none by Agatha Christie.
It’s very good ?
and then there were none and the murder on the orient express by agathe Christie. The hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle
James Crumley-“The Last Good Kiss” ( you gotta love that title, and a great read); or Charles McCarry’s Miernik Dossier. There is also a whole world of Bibliomystery—Mysteries with a literary or bookish bent.
Point break
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
It’s the ultimate mystery!

Killing Floor
Before he wakes
This list of 50 looks useful. Those I’ve read were very good, those I haven’t look quite appealing.

Anything by Agatha Christie
My new one that released yesterday…Fire on the Mountain; A Detective Mike Eiser Novel. https://www.amazon.com/Fire-Mountain-Detective-Eiser-Novel-ebook/dp/B078NGDJGR/
There are some classics that could give you an idea of whether or not you will like them. Dorothy Sayers “The Nine Tailors” or Agatha Christie’s “And then there were none” come to mind.
Read The Big Sleep, by Raymond Chandler
Lisa gardner and Lisa jackson
yes good
Anything by Agatha Christie. Seriously, if you’ve never read a murder mystery, that is the best place, in my view, to start :-). I’m reading the first Hercule Poirot book right now, Peril At End House, and it’s great!
Agatha Christie’s ‘And Then There Were None,’ ‘Death On The Nile’ or ‘Evil Under The Sun’ are good places to start. Or ‘The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.’ Or ‘Murder Must Advertise’ or ‘Whose Body?’ by Dorothy L Sayers. Or ‘A Surfeit of Lampreys’ by Ngaio Marsh.
CHRIS CARTER. awesome writer.
Holmes and Agatha Christie have both been recommended. Agree completely! My favorite Holmes story is The Redheaded League, and favorite murder story is The Speckled Band.
Christie you have to go with Orient express!
And if you would allow a self promotion, I write light-hearted mysteries: http://jaymims.com/
Agatha Christie always a good place to start. Hope you enjoy whatever you decide on, and it’s the first of many
Try anything from James Patterson and Catherine Coulter! Those two are my favorite authors!
Deborah Crombie
