I really recommend The Tokyo Zodiac Murders by Soji Shimada. The English version is a translation of the Japanese but having read both versions, I can say that it's a faithful translation. This author is considered the godfather of the Golden Age Murder Mystery genre in Japan. He has written over 30 books but sadly this is the only one to get translated. It's also the only one written in this style where the author challenges the reader to try and figure out how the murder is done before revealing the solution. There is a page literally telling you when you are about to be spoiled. The solution itself is pure genius. It's a bit of a grotesque murder in the details but this has to be one of the best murder mystery novels by a none English language author. You can tell that the author was inspired by Sherlock Holmes and the protagonist is a sort of Japanese take on him.

Love this so much! Do you have any other recommendations where we are encouraged to solve?

Literally saving this video for reference next time I need a good murder mystery 👀📝

[@aliteraryfan]

So glad to find a channel that talks about my favorite genre - mysteries and thrillers! I have so many TBRs from you on my goodreads list now - thank you! I love your reviews - they are honest and helpful, without giving away the ending of the books! Anthony Horowitz has some great mysteries - The Word is Murder is the first in 4 book series, and Magpie Murders and its sequel is another series. All have been great reads! 🔍

[@pmeredithauthor]

Great list! I loved your labels for your tiers. 😂 Thanks for sharing!

🗡 Thanks great place to start as someone intrested in delving more into this genre. Just on the last book of he good girls series and really enjoying that.

[@ChrissiesPurpleLibrary]

Everything I needed today 💜💯

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Yes big little lies and good girls guide are def GOLD

[@lindsayjardine3376]

Defo going to refer back to this video x

[@normanorourke3244]

Love that you have got nearly all the same books as me.

[@izzyyy...]

lmao i love how you made the tiers from memes!! oh thank god you put good girls guide to murder in we've struck gold babes, it's soooo good! i didn't know holly jackson had another book coming out though??? i've just looked it up on GR and i'm also scared, i just have a feeling nothing can top GGGTM and the fact it's a thriller djfnldsnj *gasp* i loved the man who died twice more than the first thursday murder, but i can understand why some people reverse it, i'm soooo excited to read the third and i didn't know there was gunna be a fourth eeeee

[@surpriseitsus9622]

Me too

[@bookswithamymarie]

I LOVED One by One too! 💜

[@lauraspruce2023]

You really made murder mysteries cool again and I love it🔪

[@ChemicalPenguinn]

ooh, this video is going to be very interesting!!!

[@suem433]

One of my favorite mystery characters is Lord Peter Wimsey. He is the main character in the books written by Dorothy L Sayers. I believe the writer was a contemporary of Agatha Christie. The first book was "Whose Body?" I'd like to know what you think of it.

[@pizzveta]

Another wonderful and fun video💚 🔎🔪

[@surpriseitsus9622]

Do you read JD Robb? These are my favorite murder mystery books. I know Mara loves them too. 50 something books. Get a few at a time from the library. Love them

[@Bookishhaunt]

The Veronica Speedwell books by Deanna Raybourn are my favorite. If you haven't tried them, I definitely recommend!

[@surpriseitsus9622]

Thank you. I'll try them

[@hudfamfour]

Also, if you like mom drama, Lovely Girls by Margot Hunt is top notch. I read it as an ARC and I’m not sure when it comes out, but it’s definitely a good read!

[@alejandragomez499]

Omg, thank you so much!!! I just read "And then there were none".... and I don't get it. SPOILERS It doesn't really make sense if you think about. A bullet to the head would cause a bunch of blood and would go through the wig. How did he fake it. It seemed to me that she wrote the whole book and was like, "Guess I should pick a killer."

[@ashliegh94]

That’s so funny you didn’t like And Then There Were None and loved Death On The Nile. I’m the complete opposite. I felt Death On The Nile was so predictable, so I didn’t enjoy it as much. But the ending of And Then There Were None had me shook.

[@aramleblebjian8218]

Can't watch the video after seeing *And Then There Were None* there...

[@KatieColson]

Yes! Justice for One by One!

[@sanjaykumarrathore50270]

Excellent and fantastic

[@bee7160]

you should read the last two books in the gggtm series! the last one is my favorite book of all time 😋😋

[@megwithbooks]

I have! I loved the last one too! I just don’t class them as murder mysteries

[@emilykathleenreads]

The big four was a big no from me but she’s still the crime queen to me haha. And I agree with what you said about Lucy foley. I know it’s not for everyone but she just hits the spot for me haha

[@hudfamfour]

Have you listened to the audiobooks of the Lady Hardcastle Mysteries? The narrator is PHENOMENAL. I’m not sure I could read a physical copy without hearing her voice now.

[@surpriseitsus9622]

That's good to know. Thanks

[@Tokayd13]

And Then There Were None was the very first adult mystery I ever read. I went from Nancy Drew to Agatha Christie. And The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is probably my favorite Christie, the original unreliable narrator. I'm taking some recommendations from your list, as well as the comments below. Fun video.

[@becwrites]

I was the only person in my book club who liked The Paris Apartment lol but it was also my first Lucy Foley. One classic murder mystery I recommend is “Trial & Error” by Anthony Berkeley. Holy f**ing god. The first 1/3 is very slow, if you stick with it it blows your socks off. I was also laughing aloud. 6/5 stars!!!!!!!

[@Bookbonkers8439]

That was a fun video! 🔪

[@TheGoofy1932]

Big Little Lies is general fiction, but I suppose if they can put Emily Henry and Colleen Hoover in romance, why not?! 😉 Not a fan of Lucy Foley. I feel she is to mystery what Riley Sager is to thriller-and it's Not complimentary. 😏 One by One is actually one of the few Ruth Ware books I liked. Agatha Christie is the Queen of Mystery for a reason. 👑 I like Death on the Nile, Murder of Roger Aykroyd as well as And Then There Were None (and many other from her Poirot/Marple catalog)but my absolute favorite from her is Cards on the Table (brilliant locked room mystery). Richard Osman has been a delightful find for me. Loving his books. I do enjoy CL Taylor more than you seem to, but I don't like Foley at all. Anthony Horowitz has quickly become a favorite of mine, right next to Christie. In fact, his writing tone is very similar. I'm always surprised that Ruth Ware gets compared to her when their style is Not similar (unfortunately for Ware 🤣), and Horowitz never seems to receive it eventhough his style is. 🤷‍♀️ I don't tend to get caught up in the whole "policing" author's who wrote decades/centuries ago. We would have virtually no classics to read if we banned "problematic" books. I'm Not a fan of censorship in any case. I don't get hung up on what newer author's are "tweeting", which seems more like twitting to me anyway, either. If you've been convicted of something serious, no I'm Not buying your book 📙-otherwise if the story sounds good then...to the TBR pile it goes.😁

[@gabrielacarolina_]

I did not liek Dead Dead Girls, idk if its worth continuing the series or not. On paper i SHOULD have loved it but it was just such a miss for me

[@KrystalJanson]

🔪 🔎 this was such a fun video!

[@AFrolicInTheTomesxx]

If Agatha Christie is similar to Lucy foley…. Then that saves me a lot of time trying to get into Agatha 😢. I can’t stand any book I’ve read by Lucy foley unfortunately.

Tier rankings are my fave thing. More please 👀🤍 I feel the same way about the guest list, I gave it 5 stars but knew I wouldn’t read it again so I gave it away 😅

[@SunilSingh-hi6tw]
