What is a good mystery book, full of twists and turns, that isn’t a murder?
ff
What’s that ? Lol
Means she’s following for recs too.
Ohhhhhh is that what that means lol I’ve seen it before
Gone girl
@Melinda that has multiple murders lol
Yeah but the main storyline isn’t your traditional murder mystery.
@Melinda true ?♀️
Pretty girl 13. This is really depressing one though, just a heads up.
I was literally about to make this post. Lol
The woman in the window!!
Following* I don’t think I’ve ever read a mystery ?
Ain’t No Sunshine
It has a murder, I think? Or just a death… But I was back and forth between details (not about a murder) until the last page.
I was just looking into “cozy mysteries” last night… got lots of great suggestions… you can just Google it, it’s an entire genre ?
Hello, what exactly is ‘cozy mysteries’?
@Dixie not violent, someone is thrown into being a sleuth or detective, is usually centered around coffee shops, bookstores, food, knitting, etc… with some kind of love interest. Light, cute reads ?
That’s exactly what I need, thank youuu?
Dixie I was literally googling them last night! Haha. You’re welcome ??
I had no idea about this sub genre thanks heaps
Try Mary Higgins Clark
Valour and Vanity by Mary Robinette Kowal (currently reading and I might have whiplash in the best way). Fourth in a series.
The Last Mrs Parrish.
The Infinite Library by Kane X Faucher and Arcadia by Iain Pears.
Try CL Taylor books I’m reading the missing at the moment
Castle Warlock, by George MacDonald. It’s more suspense than twists and turns, but there are a few of those too… http://www.worksofmacdonald.com/products/castle-warlock
Lincoln and Childs Pendergast series was awesome.
The Other Woman by Sandie Jones
Gone Girl
Following
Lies
I could use answers from this.
Paper Towns by John Green.
The Franchise Affair by Josephine Tey.
The Wife Between Us
Sent PM
The Best Laid Plans by Sidney Sheldon..
Black Suits You by Novoneel Chakraborty…
I love Sidney Sheldon. I own every one of his books 🙂
Couple next door
The Girl Before
Can confirm that the couple next door is gooood ??
If you’re into short stories, I was pleasantly surprised by Sherlock Holmes. Specifically, “The Adventure of the Speckled Ban.” I read it for one of my English classes as extra credit and it was my favorite read!! You never see anyone get murdered, but naturally Holmes must figure it out. I loved the twist and thought it was so different than anything I’ve read. Definitely a fun read. ?
@Jenna, I love Holmes, you picked a good one. But honestly…there are no bad ones.
@Kim Thank you! This was the first one I’ve read and now I definitely want to check out the other ones. The writing style is enjoyable which is a huge plus. ?
@Jenna, I bought a great collection for my Kindle dirt cheap. I often reread my favorites.
@Kim I don’t have a kindle. I typically just read physical books. How do you like your kindle? Is it worth it? I’ve been curious about it.
@Jenna, I almost asked you that very question. I love Kindle, especially when traveling. Nothing like holding a book, though. No feeling compares to that for me. ?
Kim Loveless Oh I bet that makes a huge difference! Also, a smart idea. You won’t have to fear losing it somewhere. An actual book that is.
I second the suggestion of Sherlock Holmes stories. Lots of them aren’t murder mysteries–they’re just really clever and confusing puzzles. They aren’t even always sinister–sometimes they’re just misunderstandings that someone was then embarrassed to admit.
Are you looking for a “no one dies”, . . . or just no graphic violence, . . . mind of a killer sort of thing? ?
More like a mystery that’s not a detective novel. Similar to Paper Towns or the Thirteenth Tale or Dan Brown even.
@Sonia
So, . . . not a “police” detective, . . . but, . . . an amateur sleuth, . . . like Miss Marple? ?
@Priscilla not even that… just a page turner that has some kind of mystery in it lol
@Sonia
Hmmm, . . . get out your library card and goto Overdrive, . . . or Libby.
Use its search engine. First by the genres you prefer; Fantasy, . . . Romance, . . . then lastly, . . . Mystery. It will give you a very good list.
Remember to keep the format wide open. ?
