New Murder Mystery Books Available Online

By Joanna Walsh


Readers often go online today to find a book to buy. Websites have a wide selection of all genres available. Searching for a specific genre is easy. New murder mystery books are published all the time. Finding them is not difficult and the hardest part is to make a selection from the huge variety. If one has a favorite author or is reading a particular series, this makes selection easier.

One of the reasons this genre has such a devoted following is because of the puzzles that have to be solved. The reader is drawn in to a particular situation and is slowly fed clues as to the identity of the murderer. The best authors create a fine balance, giving the reader the satisfaction of feeling they are nearing an answer but at the same time keeping the suspense building.

The plots are incredibly varied and sometimes the reader is introduced to the murderer immediately. The suspense comes from seeing inside the mind of the murderer. Many people love psychological thrillers where they gain insight into what makes people commit heinous acts. Other fans are armchair detectives who love the intellectual challenge of following clues and trying to decipher puzzles.

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 book has been purchased from a certain site, suggestions of other novels along the same lines will usually be given. This is very useful when one has enjoyed a certain book and yet do not know any other authors writing the same kind of novels. Some people do not want to have too many disturbing, gruesome details while others revel in them.

The best of these novels are written in such a way that the reader is kept in suspense right till the end. However, the crime must still feel solvable and the clues given have to be believable. This genre is immensely popular and new novels are being published constantly. Readers have no shortage of choice and are always able to find a book that appeals to their specific taste.
