Can you recommend the best more recent detective crime novels for a beginner?
Sure. 'The Girl on the Train' by Paula Hawkins is a great start. It has a simple enough plot for a beginner to follow with a lot of mystery and suspense. The main character's unreliable narration adds to the intrigue. Another good one is 'The Woman in the Window' by A.J. Finn. It's a modern take on the classic detective story where the main character is housebound and observes things that might be related to a crime.
For a beginner, I'd suggest 'A Study in Charlotte' by Brittany Cavallaro. It reimagines Sherlock Holmes and Watson as teenagers at a boarding school, which makes it fun and easy to get into. Also, 'The Chalk Man' by C.J. Tudor. It has a small - town setting and a mystery that unfolds gradually, with some spooky elements that will draw in new readers of detective crime novels.
