22 Best Mystery Books You Won't Be Able to Put Down (Reader's Digest)

"Nothing piques our curiosity and sets our minds to problem-solving mode quite like a good mystery. It's why so many of us grew up playing detective alongside fictional favorites like Hercule Poirot, Sherlock Holmes, Encyclopedia Brown, and Nancy Drew. It's also why Agatha Christie—queen of mystery books and the top female author—is the second best-selling author of all time, bested only by Shakespeare.You'll know a whodunnit when you read it. Typically, mystery books begin with a crime, offer several suspects and scenarios throughout the story, and culminate in a surprise ending. To come up with our list of the best mystery books, we polled Reader's Digest book editors (look for the Reader's Digest Editor's Choice seal!) and friends and combed through best seller lists and five-star reviews. In short, discovering the best mystery books of all time was elementary, dear Watson." - stage.rd.com
