Recs if you like Murder in the Crooked House...

my favourite genre, these books are so much fun and more and more are being added all the time If anyone has any questions about any book I will try to help. I have read most of them and have reference books on the history of Japanese crime fiction.

i'm on an absolute murder mystery KICK at the moment. having watched the new knives out twice already (mild spoilers ahead) i've been thinking about the subgenre of locked room murder mysteries and decided to compile a list of them!

definition: a locked room mystery involves a seemingly "impossible crime". in these, the murder is committed under circumstances where it appears impossible for the killer to enter and leave the room undetected. and yet it IS possible!

Locked room mysteries! Impossible crimes to solve!

A list of ergodic books I've come across through time. Those books that go beyond words on a page and contain special elements and features that make reading a whole new experience!

Honkaku or classic locked room mysteries

Mystery novels (and maybe a few thrillers) that have a theme of Christmas or other winter holidays, or an overall wintery theme. Please give suggestions!

Books that include the theme of maze-like houses, interiors, and some actual mazes. Usually horror, not always.

Will probably contain books mostly from the shin honkaku movement, as that's what I've read the most of XD

These have all been translated to English!
