2. "The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle" by Stuart Turton

A murder with a Groundhog Day twist—except the detective isn’t just reliving the same day but waking up in different bodies to solve the crime. Turton’s intricate, mind-bending plot is as clever as it is sinister, ensuring you stay hooked from start to finish.

3. "And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie

Ten strangers are lured to a secluded island under mysterious pretences, only to be picked off one by one. With no escape and no clear killer, paranoia reigns. Christie’s classic is the ultimate locked-room mystery—deceptively simple, ruthlessly brilliant.

4. "The Silent Patient" by Alex Michaelides

A woman convicted of murdering her husband hasn’t spoken a word since the crime. A psychotherapist is determined to uncover the truth, but as he digs deeper, he finds himself entangled in a psychological game where nothing is as it seems. A modern psychological thriller with a killer twist.

5. "Magpie Murders" by Anthony Horowitz

A novel within a novel, this book is a love letter to the classic English whodunit with a deliciously sinister edge. When a crime writer dies under suspicious circumstances, his editor must untangle the mystery hidden within his final manuscript—before she becomes the next victim.

Whether you crave psychological suspense, classic whodunits, or mind-twisting narratives, these books will satisfy your inner detective. But remember—just because it’s fiction doesn’t mean it won’t get under your skin. Sweet dreams... if you dare.
