The comments and opinions expressed on this page are written exclusively by redditors. To provide you with the most relevant data, we sourced opinions from the most knowledgeable Reddit users based the total number of upvotes and downvotes received across comments on subreddits where historical mystery books are discussed. For your reference and for the sake of transparency, here are the specialists whose opinions mattered the most in our ranking.
Do you like mysteries?? I hope you do! Because I'm about to tell you about my favorite mystery series ever! =D
Check out The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley. It's the first in an absolutely amazing mystery series. Mysteries are my favorite books, but I'm weird and I'm really picky about them. So I promise this one is good!
To sum it up, the stories follow an 11-year-old girl who lives in a small village in 1950s England. She is very clever for her age and is very talented at chemistry. In particular, she is very fond of poisons. Long story short, a murder occurs and she helps solve it!
They're SO GOOD. I haven't heard many people IRL talk about these books, but according to the first couple of pages or so, they win awards and such. Anyway, I'd highly recommend this book and the whole series!
Thank you so much for this contest! =D
Hi my name is Bethany and my favorite e-books to read are the Flavia deluce books but I would really love a science book in this series because my niece is home schooled and we love to learn science together we do not spend enough time with each other. I also like to learn new things as well. Thanks for the contest :)
Vinyl first because you have to have music on to do your make up. Lana Del Rey has vinyl records! You said you like Amy Winehouse and Bastille, so I think you will like this too! It is $17.99.
Books, ok we are going be here all day! I'm not really sure what you like in terms of music, so I would say any one of the following
Viridis and Devil on a Sparrow's Wing by Calista Taylor. Steampunk action romance. I looooove this series, and even Mr Jess liked it to, after telling me that I was reading smut. Book 1 and Book 2 and they are also just $2.99
The Legends of Regia by Tenaya Jayne and book two for $2.99 for the both, since one is free!
Makeup because now that we are entertained, we need to be fabulous. We have $74.03 left for make up
EYES
Pixie Epoxy
Because Cats eyeshadow
Rapunzel Had Extensions eye shadow
Space Kitty eyeshadow
The Seven Kingdoms sample sized collection
Cheeks
10K blush
Lips
I would make 2 custom lipglosses using 1-up and Potion using customgloss and the opaque option.
Done! Now, I've got to Get busy living, because I sat here for an hour. :)
You can call the similarities superficial all you want, but it's totally copied homework at the end of the day. It's like the time in high school that I got a bunch of awards for an "original" fiction piece that lifted setting and plot notes from a book I had read with my own characters and a few other changes. You could say I made an original work, and that it still took a lot of skill and creativity to do. But one thing's for sure, if any of the judges along the way had been familiar with the book, I wouldn't have been winning awards for an 'original story'
*Done
Thanks for passing on the literary enjoyment!
I'd say get in at least a few young adult fiction, as they're full of saccharine and angst ridden metaphor:
• The Perks Of Being A Wallflower
• Looking For Alaska
A few historical fictions:
• Wolf Hall
• Memoirs Of A Geisha
Comedy:
• The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy
• Good Omens
Stephen king (just because he's a favorite)
• 11/22/63
• IT
And finally, some objectively "bad" books, to learn what not to do.
• Wild Animus: A Novel
• The Da Vinci Code
• Moon People
All of these books are personal favorites for one reason or another, and some may fit into multiple categories (see: looking for Alaska under YA fiction and "bad,").
That said, this should at least keep you busy for a bit.
Happy reading, and good luck on your novel!
The Four Treasures
A murder at the base of The Spire in the heart of Dublin, Ireland launches a centuries old race for power.
Amber, a frustrated agent of the Irish National Bureau of Investigation, and Sean, a fresh-faced but disheartened Garda officer, must team up to catch a madman who believes that the Four Treasures of an ancient civilization, the Tuatha De Danann, will grant him unimaginable control over the country. Together, the two must join the hunt for the artifacts in the hopes of preventing any more deaths.
But, set in Dublin and the university town of Maynooth, the two soon find that the ravings of a lunatic might have more power behind them than first imagined.
==========
My first book and first jaunt into self-publishing. Have it up on Amazon and its available on KindleUnlimited as well. I'm still new to the whole self-publicizing thing but have spent a lot of time reading through the topics on this subreddit. So, yeah. Thanks :)
I would recommend Indrek Hargla Apothecary Melchior saga. It is about medieval apothecary who solves crimes in medieval Tallinn. He likes to drink some nice herbal snapps and he has also his own demons. Books are good because Hargla is very experienced author who has written a lot of sci-fi and now crime novels, too. These novels are written nowadays so it's more easier to understand them for foreign (than maybe some old time authors) and descriptions of medieval town is rather visual and include nice knowledge about medieval culture and everyday life. And crime stories are quite strong.
First novel of the saga is below:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Apothecary-Melchior-Mystery-St-Olafs/dp/0720618444
Amazon UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00BBS39L2
Amazon CA: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00BBS39L2
If you enjoy the eBook, I'd be thrilled if you left a short review!! Thanks, Jack :)
There was a lot of good stuff in here but personally I was most pleased to find the following -
Fata Morgana by Kotzwinkle
and
[The Still](https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AQAD1YG/ref=oh_aui_d_detailpageo04?ie=UTF8&psc=1) & The King by Feintuch
also
Budayeen Nights by Effinger and
Tourist by Goldstein.
But overall, lots of gems if your willing to dig and like older stuff.
Those books are insanely awesome!!

Check out the Flavia de Luce mysteries by Alan Bradley. While they do feature murder they're light, humorous, and quick reads. There are only 4 currently in print, but I think there'll be something like 7 in total. Bradley is pushing them out pretty quick.
