It's so easy to get lost at the book counter today. Publishers constantly delight their readers with interesting books. Romance novels and political studies, collections of poetry and philosophical treatises. But detective stories remain the unchanging favorites of readers, capable of keeping the reader's attention from the very first page. Our review contains new foreign detective stories published in Russian.
Death Before Christmas by Kristoffer Karlsson
A serious, tangled noir-style detective story from a Scandinavian author. In the book, crime is closely intertwined with politics, describes the confrontation between nationalists and anti-fascists, touches on the problems of migrants and shows the work of the police and state security services in Sweden.
An exciting, dynamic storyline will keep the reader in suspense until the very last page, and the described processes of recruiting schoolchildren and students via the Internet show how important it is to teach teenagers to resist such things, regardless of country of residence. And it all starts with a corpse found on the eve of Christmas.
The Victims, Jonathan Kellerman
The author of the book by education is a clinical psychologist. Therefore, his books are an enchanting mixture of detective and thriller. Fans of gripping, tense stories will appreciate the novel by Jonathan Kellerman, in which a serial killer holds an entire city at bay. The policeman and the psychologist are trying to understand by what principle he chooses his victims.
The novel "Victims" is another book about the investigations of detective Milo Sturgis and psychologist Alex Delaware.
Silence by Jennifer McMahon
Fans of mystical detectives on the verge of horror will be able to appreciate the author's next book, published in Russian. It is impossible even to imagine what or with whom the heroes of the novel will have to face on the next page. However, readers of the work will not be bored either.
It should be noted that the writer finished her "Silence" back in 2011, and therefore connoisseurs of Jennifer McMahon's early work can enjoy a return to the mysticism that fascinated in the earlier works of the writer.
You Will Die If You Don't, Peter James
Continuation of the series of novels about Roy Grace, an imperfect policeman who cannot solve problems in his life, but brilliantly solves crimes and knows how to establish relationships within his team.
This time, Roy Grace will have to solve an extremely intricate and complex case of kidnapping a teenager during a football match. The boy's father is a businessman and it seems that everything will be predictable in this detective story. However, Peter James knows how to keep the attention of the reader and keep the intrigue until the very end of the work.
The Perfect Stranger by Megan Miranda
A fascinating detective story that makes you think and empathize with the main character, Leah Stevens. She herself sometimes thinks that she has lost her mind, because her flatmate Emmy Gray seems to have never existed. Probably, it was not with her that Leah quarreled because of the untimely paid rent, since the police say that such a person never existed.
Emmy's riddle is revealed only at the very end, and "Perfect Stranger" as a whole leaves a pleasant aftertaste. And the desire to answer to yourself the question asked right on the cover of Megan Miranda's book: "What if your friend never existed?"
The Ninth Circle, Blake Crouch and J. A. Konrath
The co-authorship of Blake Crouch and J. A. Konrath made the detective stories they wrote more voluminous and more alive. A gripping storyline, beautiful language and recognizable style help the authors achieve their goal: to create the perfect detective story.
Not everyone can like chilling descriptions of bloody scenes or black police humor. But everyone who starts reading will no longer be able to put it aside until they find out how the story of a former police officer who is forced to confront a ruthless maniac ended. For many years he prepared for his crime and made the heroine fear not only for her life, but also for her unborn baby, who will be born from day to day.
Books, despite the development of television and the Internet, always remain in demand and relevant. They are invariably in demand and are published in thousands of copies today. Many celebrities even make their own list of references, works from which they are ready to recommend to their many fans. Turns out, famous people also read not only classics, there are a variety of books in their list of preferences.

It is not uncommon for our film to be considered a cult film, but in native places the score is below average. In Russia, the rating is mainly determined using an assessment on "Kinopoisk", and abroad they are guided by "IMDb".
