Filip Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Good evening guys, I have a friend who is always complaining that every detective story is predictable and after reading a few pages she already knows how the book ends. So I would like to ask for a recommandation for a detective novel that is goood and also isn't so predictable. Is there such a book? (Something like a hidden gem ). I have no idea because I came here. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onion Budgie Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Hi Filip, welcome to the forum. I'd highly recommend The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton. Its plot is one of the twistiest and most intriguing (and exciting!) that I've ever read. I guarantee that your friend won't guess how it ends!

Hayley Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Welcome to the forum Filip Has your friend already read The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie? It's not exactly a hidden gem, but it is notoriously difficult to work out who the killer is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I can recommend Sebastian Fitzek. Definitely unpredictable! I have read Therapy, and Splinter, and have a couple more of his on my kindle waiting for me. They are dark, but compelling reads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danika Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Some authors who write detective novels that are not so formulaic- Carol O'Connell (Mallory series), Becky Masterman (ex FBI agent), Sharon Bolton (Lacey Flint series in particular), Harry Dolan, Nicholas Obregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
