Recs if you like A Study in Charlotte...

Books where someone, at some point, lets out a breath they didn’t know they were holding. I fully intend to update this every time I come across this line, but let me know which ones are missing in the comments!

These books contain little to no spice🩷 Double checked by me, fellow reviewers, & romance.io, but if there's still a mistake, please do correct! Only 1 book per author

mystery and thriller books that are ya but perfect for adults

Inspired by theaisreading and my love for teenage detectives and crime stories, I need a list which collects them all. Whether it’s missing secrets or suspicious suspects, these young, sometimes unintentional, detectives are always one step ahead and rarely play by the rules. From cozy to high stake. We don't judge. Feel free to recommend books I've missed and you like!

the staples of the book community on youtube in the early to mid 2010s.

Is this dark academia? The dead body probably means yes. Mysteries set at boarding schools!

Teenage girls solving murders and disappearances, and humbling (incompetent) policemen in the process

because sometimes they can do what proper detectives cannot 🤔 here’s a list of ya/mg (murder) mystery books where crimes get solved the right way!

The world and characters of Sherlock and Watson reimagined and retold

I love a good retelling (from fairy tales to classic novels). If you are looking for a great retelling, this list is for you!

teenagers solving mysteries ! (if it's a series, only the first one is added)

a list of first books in a quadrilogy - just in case anyone might need them for book challenges like HRCYED 👀 (this also includes quadrilogies that have additional novellas or got prequels etc, because they were originally four books)

featuring books that retell timeless stories, because they usually bear repeating (with a twist). recommendations welcome!

Only one rule: there is a snake on the cover. It doesn’t have to be a specific genre, it doesn’t have to be a specific age group, it doesn’t even need to be a good book.

Bonus points if it’s the original book snake!

The detectives, private investigators and spies who solve a good mystery

Want to go back to school and have a study session? These books may (or may not) teach you a thing or two! If you know of more books with a title like this, tell me pls. 😌

Classics and other tales that are being retold but with a nystery/thriller slant.

Me sister gets sad very easily and gets very scared when i read muder book because she thinks im depressed

also got some dark academia vibes

Every daggone book out there is "special" these days 🙄 but I need these, publishing houses! NEED!

(note - for series I've only included the first book)
