I’m looking for a detective novel to give my girlfriend for Christmas, and I’d really appreciate some advice since I’ve mostly read sci-fi books and don’t know much about this genre.
She used to read, but recently we’ve been watching many detective series and movies together, and she loved Dept. Q, all of the Knives Out, and Ripley (I’m not sure if that fully counts as detective, but that kind of vibe she also liked). She’s also a big Sherlock Holmes fan.
So I’m looking for something suitable for someone who hasn’t read much in a while, a good case with a strong twist, interesting and sympathetic characters, not too dark, something like that.
I’d really appreciate any suggestions. Thanks very much!
