Find New Murder Mystery Books

By Joanna Walsh


Many authors are choosing to publish their novels online today. New murder mystery books are constantly made available to avid fans. These fans cannot wait to enjoy the latest in a particular series and are always looking out for novels written by their favorite authors.

One of the reasons so many people seem to enjoy novels of this kind is because they become involved in solving a puzzle. The authors subtly drops clues enabling the reader to reach certain conclusions. The idea is to create as much suspense as possible and prevent the reader from guessing who the murderer is too early but at the same time offering them just enough information to keep them involved. Red herrings may be introduced too, as a way to misdirect the reader.

Authors have to combine characters, situations and conflicts in such a way as to create suspense and sustain it. If they let their readers down, they simply do not read the next novel. Some fans love the more classic detective stories such as those written by Agatha Christie where Hercule Poirot uses his little grey cells to solve the mysteries. Others enjoy mysteries that make their blood run cold and the adrenalin pump.

The sleuths in these novels vary considerably. They are women and men, and they come in all ages, from a Miss Marple to Harry Bosch. Some of them are handsome or beautiful and many of them have complex characters. Others are irascible old men with a taste for cigarettes and whiskey but with the sharpest of minds. Aspects of their personalities and their relationships with others are explored.

The murders take place in all kinds of settings. Some happen in small villages and others in large cities. Some take place inside buildings and others outside, in forests, in deserts and on mountains. The setting always plays a part in creating the atmosphere.

Most websites selling novels ask readers for their email addresses so they can be sent free newsletters. They want to keep them advised about the latest novels published, events taking place, competitions and any discounts being offered. On the sites, reviews written by experts can also help to inform readers. Reading reviews written by other fans is another way to select a book. Discussion groups and forums are also helpful.

What happens when a book one loves finally comes to an end? It is possible to get recommendations of novels written by the same author or others, based on what has already been read. Whether you enjoy reading old fashioned whodunits set in country villages or violent, disturbing novels set in cosmopolitan cities, there is something to suit every taste.

The best novels of this genre will keep readers guessing and yet offer realistic enough clues at just the right time. This keeps readers involved and makes them feel they are tracking along and yet does not reveal too much. Many new authors are releasing novels to appeal to readers of this genre. The selection is vast and the only question is exactly which one to select.
