I absolutely love murder mystery/mystery in general. I enjoy thrillers, but I am okay for a murder mystery to not be a thriller. I have read some Agatha Christie novels and plan on reading more so I’m okay with suggestions of her books. But is there a whodunnit that you absolutely loved??

*The Moonstone* by Wilkie Collins is great if you like Agatha Christie. It was published in 1868 and besides being a good mystery, it surprised me by how progressive it is for its time.
My favorite Dorothy L. Sayers book is *Murder Must Advertise*. Which is available for free on Project Gutenberg Canada.
Anything by Ann Cleeves and the Thursday murder club series
The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher
I liked the Flavia deLuce series by Alan Bradley quite well.
Not a Happy Family is a story of a man and his wife being killed and 3 children that all had motive and opportunity.
Try Louise Penny’s Armande Gamache series. The first one is Still Life, I believe. They really get going around the 3rd book, when the circle of friends/colleagues/locations really start to flesh out.
The good thing is, if you like them there are 14 more, lol.
PD James is similar, a little more serious, but the mystery/puzzle to solve is interesting and the main characters are good. Again, there are many so if it turns out to match your taste you’ll have a good number to look forward to.
