Well, 'The Name of the Rose' by Umberto Eco has a sort of detective - like character, Brother William of Baskerville, who investigates a series of murders in a monastery. 'The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency' by Alexander McCall Smith is also great. It tells the story of Precious Ramotswe, the first female private detective in Botswana. And 'The Silkworm' by Robert Galbraith (J.K. Rowling) is a good one too. Cormoran Strike, the detective, has to solve the case of a missing novelist.

One of the best is 'The Maltese Falcon' by Dashiell Hammett. It features the tough detective Sam Spade and a complex web of mystery around a valuable statuette. Another great one is 'The Big Sleep' by Raymond Chandler, with his iconic detective Philip Marlowe. And 'Sherlock Holmes' stories by Arthur Conan Doyle are also top - notch. Holmes' brilliant deductive reasoning makes these stories classics in the private detective genre.
