Buy New Murder Mystery Books Online

By Joanna Walsh


There are many fans of mysteries involving murders of all descriptions. The fact that so many of them are available from online stores, means that they have plenty of choice. New murder mystery books are being published all the time. Fans often sign up for emails which notify them about the latest offerings in a series or a book recently published by a favorite author.

This particular genre has a huge following. Perhaps one reason for this is a chance to solve a puzzle. Readers become caught up in the plot and information is manipulated by the author so as to involve readers in the drama and conflict of the story. They may even be fed red herrings to throw them off track. Important clues are slowly revealed to keep the suspense. Another reason for the appeal of this genre could be the chance to explore darkness and evil from a safe distance.

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.

Many of the detectives in this genre have become quite famous such as Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot, created by Agatha Cristie. The authors writing today are no different and the detectives they create are just as entertaining. They often have deep character flaws themselves and yet we appreciate their sharp wit and ability to get to the truth.

The arenas in which the murders take place are as varied as the sleuths that solve the mysteries. Hotels, country villages, conventions, in the street or on a road-trip, the world in which the story takes place is carefully chosen. It may also be set in a particular world such as that of horse racing or collecting art.

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.

Once a particular novel has been purchased, further recommendations are often given of other novels one might enjoy. There is such a wide variety on offer that it helps to be offered such suggestions. After all, these novels vary widely from those that are more genteel, puzzle solvers to the more gruesome, action filled variety.

Most readers of mysteries feel a sense of competition with the detective but if the crime feels solvable, and the clues genuine, it is a competition they are happy to lose. The best mysteries offer a great read but at the same time personally involve the reader. New authors abound now that it has become possible to self-publish and any lover of this genre will never run out of novels to read.
