There's 'Big Little Lies' which, although not strictly a traditional crime novel, has elements of mystery and crime within a community - based story. It shares with 'The Family Upstairs' the exploration of relationships among different characters and how secrets can have far - reaching consequences. The complex web of lies and half - truths in 'Big Little Lies' is comparable to what might be found in 'The Family Upstairs'.
One is 'Gone Girl'. It has a similar level of mystery and complex relationships like 'The Family Upstairs'.
The engaging plot. It likely has twists and turns that keep readers hooked, making it a best - selling crime novel.
Sorry, I don't know of any crime novels specifically similar to 'Bluebird Bluebird' as a best - seller without more information. There are many great crime novels out there like 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' which is a best - selling crime novel, but not sure if it has any relation to 'Bluebird Bluebird'.
Yes, it is. It has a really engaging plot full of twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat. The characters are well - developed and the mystery is quite intriguing.
Then there's 'The Big Sleep' by Raymond Chandler. His writing style is unique, with hard - boiled detective stories. In this novel, the detective Marlowe is on a case full of mystery, corruption, and danger, and Chandler's descriptions of the seedy underbelly of society add to the overall atmosphere of the crime story.
I'd recommend 'Lost Girls' by Robert Kolker. This book focuses on the murders of five sex workers on Long Island. It's a very in - depth exploration of the case, the victims, and the challenges faced in solving such crimes.
The theme of a troubled relationship is also common. In 'Big Little Lies', although it's more of a domestic thriller, the relationships between the characters are full of secrets and lies, much like in 'Gone Girl'. These novels show that beneath the surface of seemingly normal relationships, there can be a lot of darkness.
Sure. One of the popular ones might be 'The Cartel' by Don Winslow. It's a gritty and intense crime novel that delves deep into the world of drug cartels, with complex characters and a fast - paced plot that keeps readers on the edge of their seats.
There's also 'Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil' by John Berendt. It's set in Savannah, Georgia, and involves a murder case along with a vivid portrayal of the city's unique characters and society. It became popular not just for the crime story but also for the atmospheric and somewhat eccentric description of the Southern setting.
Recently, 'The Chain' by Adrian McKinty has been popular. It has a unique and terrifying premise where people are forced into a chain of kidnappings. 'Lock Every Door' by Riley Sager is another best - seller. It's set in a mysterious apartment building with a lot of secrets and possible crimes. And 'The Wife Between Us' by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, which has a complex plot full of surprises related to a marriage and some mysterious events.
Sure. 'The Girl on the Train' by Paula Hawkins is a good start. It's easy to follow and has a gripping plot. Another one is 'The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency' by Alexander McCall Smith. It has a unique setting and light - hearted elements along with the mystery. And 'A is for Alibi' by Sue Grafton, which is part of a long series, can introduce beginners to the genre well.
