Taking a flight to the west coast this week and I’m looking for a mystery to turn my brain off to. I’m a huge fan of detective novels but have been craving something new. I have read almost all of the Christie/Poirot novels, but am not a fan of Ms. Marple or Tommy/Tuppence. I’m primarily looking for a similar set up for the novel (murder happens and there’s a set group of suspects and a detective/private eye trying to find the murderer. I’ve tried Dorothy Sayers, John Banville, Ngaio Marsh, Tana French and some of the Noir authors. I’m also a big fan of James Ellroy novels but would prefer a more classic mystery plot structure.
