The heart pounding action and suspense in mystery stories makes them some of the most exciting books to read. They contain some of the most breathtaking stories of any fiction genre, and they never lack the shock factor that we've become quite addicted to.
Whether it's delving into the mind of the nasty criminals they face, or catching a glimpse inside the mind of the relentless investigators who pursue them- the best mystery books have the ability to shock us again and again.
When you find a good one, it's nearly impossible to put down, and once you've finished it, you can't wait to pick up the next. It is for this reason that they are included in the BFB website.
I've compiled a list of the best mystery books based on those that I have personally read and recommend. This list is updated frequently, often many times each month, to include new recommended books and information, so don't forget to bookmark this page for easy access to future additions.
