The best mystery books to read now

Fans of mystery, you need to get your hands on these books curated by the team at Mystread. We love our mystery novels and hope you enjoy these Mystread reviews.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson

A dark, epic saga that’s spawned widespread acclaim and multiple adaptations, Larsson’s Millennium series begin with this book. Lisbeth Salander is a researcher and computer hacker with a troubled past and a taste for vengeance. Naturally, she’s happy to use her skills to help investigate a young woman’s murder. But as she and journalist Mikael Blomkvist get closer to the truth, they start to receive their threats — still, this won’t stop our heroine, who’s determined to bring as many violent misogynists to justice as she can.

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

Did you think we’d write a list of the best suspense novels ever and not include Gone Girl? What starts as a standard domestic thriller about unhappy couple Nick and Amy escalate into an unputdownable tale of love, duplicity, and media distortion. However, the masterful prose and revolutionary plot twists of this zeitgeist-defining novel can only be appreciated firsthand. If you haven’t read it, read it right now; and if you have, go back and reread it. Trust us; it holds up.

The Husband’s Secret by Liane Moriarty

What if your husband wrote you a letter containing his deepest, darkest secret, only to be opened in the event of his death… but you accidentally stumbled upon it long before then? When this predicament befalls Cecelia Pitzpatrick, a happily married mother of three, she must decide whether to open the letter and jeopardize her relationship and blissful life — or live in doubt and fear until her husband’s death. Another stunning work of suspense from Moriarty, The Husband’s Secret, takes a relatively simple premise and turns it into something extraordinary.
