The Word is Murder by Anthony Horowitz is an interesting murder mystery book with the advantage of being the first in a continuing series. I think there are 4 in the series and counting

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, by Agatha Christie.
Don’t look up anything about it. Just read it, knowing nothing. You will not be disappointed.

The Retreat by Sarah Pearse. It’s actually her second book in the series, but they are all stand alone. It’s one of my favorite books and I never hear anyone discuss it
The Thursday Murder Club books are lighter but also well written and fun
The Guest List by Lucy Foley is also good, although I’ve heard people say it starts a bit slow. I don’t agree but figured I’d mention it

Loved The Thursday Murder Club series. Very lighthearted and engaging.
All the Gillian Flynn books are also good, but very much on the darker side.
For classics, I’ll never stop reading the Sherlock Holmes stories.
