Recs if you like And Then There Were None...

This is for the ultimate Agatha Christie lover. She wrote 66 detective novels, 15 short story collections, 6 romance novels under Mary Westmacott, and published 17 plays on stage. This list does not include any of her unpublished works. Finishing this in completion gives you the ultimate bragging rights.

a list of murder mysteries that take place on a remote island. slap on your sunscreen, grab that cocktail with the fancy straw and get ready for some suspicious invitations, shocking secrets and maybe even a red herring or two...

Fiction has always been where truth hides. Across horror, thriller, literary fiction, fantasy & mystery every book on this list has something to say about power, who holds it, who destroys it, and how it reproduces itself.

on an island, snowed in, on a boat, aboard a moving train... this list is crime fiction -mostly murder mysteries- in which the characters are stuck in an isolated location and cut off from the outside.

disclaimer: i haven't read all of these so lmk if a book doesn't fit, and feel free to leave suggestions in the comments!

You've built up your skills as an engaged reader - now it's time to start reaping the benefits! Every book on this list was chosen because it's genuinely enjoyable AND hiding something underneath the surface worth finding. The goal isn't to find the "right" answer, but to trust your own instincts as a reader and see where that takes you. Start in your favorite genre - it makes close reading feel like a game, not homework. Happy Reading Boundlings!!

Books with titles that give away major plot points of the story. You’ve been warned of spoilers ahead.

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!

A challenge to read all books mentioned or referenced in the American TV Show, Gilmore Girls. Books are referenced by all characters in the show. The Mojo Collection, dictionaries, instructional books, and travel books will not be included in the list.

Happy reading!

You've read the big names like Murder on the Orient Express or And Then There Were None...are you ready for the rest? This list is specifically only Agatha Christie's novels and short stories in publication order (starting at the top of list so you can easily follow it down) including the Mary Westmacott non-mystery books.

... You're trapped here with me! The format: A group of people (could be strangers, or long-lost friends) are gathered or trapped in an isolated place together. Maybe it's a remote island. Maybe a cozy cabin during a blizzard. Someone is killed. The killer is obviously among them, but who?! Submissions welcome because this is my favourite mystery sub-genre at the moment, and I can't wait to discover more!

A mixture of genres and age levels, but each book has a level of feeling like an escape room

Look, if you are taking out racist nonsense, sure. But if you are adding texting for no reason, get out here with that bullshit.

Be sure to check which edition of these books you read if you don't want to be jump scared by weird incongruity. Recommendations heartily welcomed.

Inspired by Wake Up Dead Man (the newest Knives Out installment), I decided to make a list of Locked Room Mysteries.

Compiled based on personal interests and various blogs.

hangry thoughts creeping in? can't take your mind off that glass of water? read a book! whether you wanna read Quran, make some duaa, or need some fluff have a gander at these stories. some may be related to islam and others are just a feel good pick-me-up for that ramadan fatigue. from the Holy Quran to mysteries to West Asian fantasy ◡̈

recommendations are welcome 🤗

Here's me keeping track of (most) of the books mentioned in this non-fiction adventure, for the good of all of us.

There is also a reading list at the back of the book, but I think I got them all.

Inspired to create a list by a post from @mmyth, I thought it would be nice to have a list of quest books you can download and read for free via Internet Archive. Recommendations gladly accepted. Happy reading ya'll!

(Please note this will ONLY contain books found through Internet Archive and no other sources, I don't want to run into possible mistakes and copyright headaches.)

Update: This list will also include books you can borrow through Open Library, a part of Internet Archive. In addition, this will only show English-language availability.

mysteries and thrillers in which the victim high-key sucks. rest in pieces, shitheads! love to hate 'em, we will not miss them. disclaimer: while the list creator is a certified hater, in no way is the list creator or pagebound condoning or encouraging violence, even in situations when that person does, in fact, suck.

Agatha Christie's (in)complete works collected in one place for aspiring sleuths.
