Can you recommend wyoming mystery novels for beginners?

One well - known Wyoming - set mystery novel is 'The Cold Dish' by Craig Johnson. It features Sheriff Walt Longmire and his investigations in Absaroka County, Wyoming.

Sure. 'The Death of Mrs. Westaway' by Ruth Ware is a good choice for beginners. It has a classic mystery feel with a young woman who gets drawn into a family mystery she didn't expect. The plot is engaging and not overly complicated.

Sure. 'The Maid' by Nita Prose is a great start. It has a simple yet engaging mystery and the main character is very likeable. It's easy to follow and has a touch of humor.

Well, 'Bitter Springs' is also a great Wyoming mystery novel. It delves deep into the Wyoming landscape and weaves a complex mystery around the characters. The author does a wonderful job of creating an atmosphere that is both mysterious and true to Wyoming's nature. There are various sub - plots that all come together to form a great mystery story.

The local culture, like the ranching communities, plays a big role. Characters might be ranchers or be influenced by ranching traditions. Also, small - town politics and relationships are common themes as everyone seems to know everyone in a Wyoming town, which can add to the mystery and secrecy.

Sure. 'Croak' by Gina Damico is a good start. It has a unique concept of Grim Reapers as sort of detectives. The main character's snarky attitude and the absurd situations she gets into make it a fun and easy - to - follow comedic mystery.

I would recommend 'The Darkest Evening' by Ann Cleeves. While not strictly Minnesota - only, it has a similar small - town mystery feel that many Minnesota mystery novels have. It's a great read for beginners as it has a clear mystery to solve and interesting characters that draw you into the story.

Sure. 'The Martian Chronicles' by Ray Bradbury is a good start. It has short stories that touch on various aspects of human - alien interactions on Mars, with a touch of mystery in each story. Another one is 'A Wrinkle in Time' which has elements of traveling through space and encountering strange, otherworldly beings that are somewhat of a mystery.

Sure. 'And Then There Were None' by Agatha Christie is a great start. It's easy to follow and has a really gripping storyline. The isolated setting and the way the characters start to suspect each other is really exciting.

For beginners, 'The Spellman Files' by Lisa Lutz is a good choice. It's about a family of private investigators. The family dynamic is hilarious, with bickering siblings and overbearing parents. The mystery part is also well - crafted, and the humor runs throughout the story, making it a great introduction to the genre.
