Can you recommend any best murder stories from classic literature?

One classic is 'The Decameron' by Giovanni Boccaccio. It has many tales that include sexual situations and relationships. It was written during the Middle Ages and gives a vivid picture of the social and sexual mores of that time.

From classic literature, 'Don Quixote' by Miguel de Cervantes is an excellent choice for an adult bedtime story. The adventures of the deluded knight - errant are both humorous and thought - provoking. You can read a chapter or two each night and be entertained. 'The Canterbury Tales' by Geoffrey Chaucer also has some great stories within it. The tales told by the different pilgrims offer a variety of themes from love to morality. And 'Anna Karenina' by Leo Tolstoy, while a long novel, the parts about the relationships, especially the doomed love of Anna, can be a great bedtime read as it makes you think about love and society.

Another one is 'Jane Eyre' and Mr. Rochester. Their relationship is complex. Jane and Rochester are drawn to each other in a way that seems fated. They face many difficulties, including Rochester's dark secrets, but in the end, their love prevails, which can be seen as a form of fated mates story.

Agatha Christie's 'Death on the Nile' is also a classic murder mystery. Set on a cruise ship on the Nile, it has all the elements of a great mystery: a murder, a group of suspects with motives, and the detective Hercule Poirot on the case. The exotic setting adds to the allure of the story.

I'd recommend 'Sense and Sensibility'. It's an easy - to - follow story that shows the contrast between two sisters, Elinor and Marianne, in their approaches to love. It gives a good insight into the social and romantic mores of the time.

Sure. Take Charles Dickens for example. He had a difficult childhood. His family was in debt, and he had to work in a factory at a young age. This experience of poverty and hardship influenced his works like 'Oliver Twist'. He was able to vividly depict the social problems of his time, from the poor conditions of the working class to the inequalities in society. His stories were serialized, and people eagerly awaited each new installment, which shows how popular his writing was.

In 'Gone with the Wind', Scarlett O'Hara has long, dark hair. Her relationship with Rhett Butler is a complex and passionate romance. Scarlett's beauty, which is enhanced by her long hair, is part of what attracts Rhett. Their story is filled with love, jealousy, and the tumultuous times of the Civil War.

The character of Mr. Rochester in 'Jane Eyre' has some villain - like qualities. He hides his mad wife in the attic while courting Jane. His love for Jane is intense, though. Despite his deception, Jane still loves him in the end. Their love story is complex and shows how love can exist even with flaws and secrets on one side.

Yes, 'Slaughterhouse - Five' by Kurt Vonnegut is a remarkable nonlinear story. It moves back and forth in time, from Billy Pilgrim's experiences in World War II to his abduction by aliens. This non - linearity adds to the overall sense of the absurdity of life.

Sure. 'Murder on the Orient Express' by Agatha Christie is a must - read. It's set on a train where a murder occurs, and detective Hercule Poirot has to solve it. The confined setting adds to the suspense.
