20 of the Best Classic Murder Mystery Books of All Time According to Elle

As the weather gets chillier, it becomes the perfect season for murder mysteries. Maybe the fall months are just naturally spookier, making readers want to curl up with a good whodunit (or watch a murder mystery movie). Or perhaps when you envision a classic murder mystery, it features a stereotypical detective in a long trench coat snooping at night—it just doesn't feel very summery. That being said, it's always time to pick up a classic murder mystery book. Here, 20 of the best classics to read now according to Elle.
