Agatha Christie's novels include many classics of the murder mystery genre including one of her most ingenious plots "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd," the first of the Hercule Poirot novels "The Mysterious Affair at Styles," and the last of the Poirot adventures "Curtain."

Other titles you may want to read include the adventures of Christie's Miss Marple, the best of which include "Murder at the Vicarage," "The Body in the Library," "The Mirror Crack'd," "Sleeping Murder," and "What Mrs. McGillicuddy Saw."

Dorothy L. Sayers is another author of classic English murder mysteries though not of the cozy variety that Christie writes. Start with "Murder Must Advertise" and "The Nine Tailors." Sayers' writing style is a bit more advanced but very enjoyable.

The reference librarian at your local public library can help you with finding other similar titles that you might like to read.

Answer 2

If you like mysteries and strange murders, you should try Edgar Allan Poe's "Murder on Rue Morgue". It's fantastic! He has more books like that, although most of his books are scratching the thriller style (he wrote his best works while consuming opium).
