I realised the other day that I've enjoyed lots of murder mystery games and shows, but I've hardly read any mystery novels. The only ones that come to mind are Altered Carbon and some of the Discworld Watch novels (all great!).

Can anyone recommend me some of their favourite books in this genre? I don't really mind the setting, as long as it's a satisfying mystery with a great payoff.

I read both of Stuart Turtons mystery novels last year and couldn't recommend them enough.

The Devil and the Dark Water and The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

Thanks for these suggestions - I hadn't heard of the author. The first one you mentioned has a particularly interesting setting, on an East India ship!
