A compelling read can get the blood pumping and the heart racing, and can thrill with every chapter! Here are three murder mysteries that will have you turning pages until the very end.
Bluebird, Bluebird by Attica Locke. Described as a thrilling depiction of the intersection between love, race, and justice, Bluebird, Bluebird tells the story of Darren Matthews, a black Texas ranger who is summoned to investigate two murders in the small town of Lark. A writer and producer on the Fox drama Empire, Locke won the Harper Lee Prize for Legal Fiction for her 2016 novel Pleasantville.
Six Suspects by Vikas Swarup. When playboy Vivek “Vicky” Rai is murdered at his own party, investigative journalist Arun Advani interrogates six very different suspects with very different motives. This is Swarup’s second novel, the first being the immensely successful New York Times Bestseller Q&A, adapted into the major motion picture hit Slumdog Millionaire.
Night Film by Marisha Pessl. More of a thriller than a detective novel, Night Film tells the tale of journalist Scott McGrath, who discovers that he himself may be in danger as he investigates the death of Ashley Cordova, the daughter of a controversial film director. A finalist for the 2013 Shirley Jackson Award, Night Film reached sixth on The New York Times Bestseller’s list in September 2013.
