Detective novels are consistently popular with readers and occupy a leading position in book sales lists. Of course, this applies exclusively to those detectives who captivate the reader with bright heroes, a fascinating plot and maintaining intrigue until the very last page. Our today's review presents the best works of the genre, released to print in the last few years.
Almost Normal Family by Matthias Edwardsson
The novel by Matthias Edvardsson is, as it were, at the junction of genres, and behind the detective is a real family drama, when each participant in this story has his own truth and his own view of the events taking place. And in fact, it turns out that behind the outer showcase of an ideal family there are secrets that are ashamed to even talk about.
The Disappearance of Stephanie Mailer, Joelle Dicker
The reader will have to unravel the tangle of events together with the author, which began back in 1994, when an unknown criminal shot the family of the mayor of the city. The situation became especially tense after the journalist tried to conduct her own investigation, but as a result she simply disappeared.
The Chestnut Man by Soren Sveistrup
The Scandinavian detective literally breaks the heart and mind of every reader. On the one hand, I want the evil to be punished, because the maniac in question brutally and mercilessly kills innocent women, cutting off their body parts. But when the author lifts the veil of secrecy over the history of the criminal's childhood, it is simply impossible not to sympathize with him.
Rhythm Section, Mark Burnell
The heroine of the novel sank to the bottom after her entire family died in a plane crash. But the thirst to avenge her own broken life makes the desperate prostitute rise and confront not only a criminal organization, but also state security agencies.
"The Knife" by Yu Nyosbe
The classic Scandinavian detective story from a recognized master of the genre will not give the reader a single chance to break away from the story of Hari Holly until the last page is turned. A tense and exciting investigation will amaze with its unexpected outcome, and the final lines of the novel will give hope for the next book about Hari Holly.
The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins
The two heroines of the book seem to be perfect opposites. One of them drives the train every morning by the ideal house, where the ideal family lives. The first is under the influence of alcohol all the time and cannot even remember the events of yesterday evening without outside participation. The second seems to be quite safe. Why was the one who is rarely sober so interested in the disappearance of the girl whom she saw every morning from the train window?
The Body Reader by Antonio Garrido
The historical detective story, which takes place in medieval China, is striking in its depth and meaningfulness of the material presented. A series of tragic events in the life of Song Tzu leads him to a charlatan-soothsayer, whose assistant he becomes. Soon, rumors about a talented young man who can "read bodies" reach the emperor himself, and he entrusts Song Tzu to investigate a series of mysterious crimes.
Crimes of the Past by Keith Atkinson
A complex and intricate detective story contains three storylines, each of which begins with a violent crime. Private detective Jackson Brody will have to figure out each of them, at the same time unravel a few more secrets and witness real dramatic events, unraveling the tangle of family secrets and horrified at what unsightly acts a rational person is capable of performing.
The Wrong Girl by Henk Philippi Ryan
The complex plot of the murder of a young woman seems to be developing very slowly. But the whole investigation revolves around a highly respected adoption agency, and the reader will certainly want to know what is really hidden behind the beautiful facade of an institution with a noble mission, and why children who become unwitting witnesses to the death of their own mother are silent.
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
The events in the novel begin to unfold at the moment when the main character disappears from her own house on the day of the celebration of the next wedding anniversary. A lot of evidence points to the guilt of her husband, and the course of the investigation will make the inquiring reader doubt who is a genius and who is a villain in reality.
Authors of detective novels have the ability to combine psychological tension and mystery with cold facts in their works. The best authors have been writing incredibly complex and exciting detective stories for decades, creating images of the most popular characters, whose adventures readers follow from book to book.
