Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's 'A Study in Scarlet' is also a good choice for beginners. It's the first Sherlock Holmes story. You get to meet Holmes and Watson and see how Holmes' unique methods of deduction work. The mystery involves a murder with a complex backstory that Holmes is able to piece together.

For beginners, 'And Then There Were None' by Agatha Christie is great. It has a simple yet engaging plot. Ten people are lured to an isolated island, and one by one, they start to die in mysterious ways. The pacing is good, and Christie's writing style is easy to follow.

You could start with 'The Maltese Falcon' by Dashiell Hammett. It introduces the hard - boiled detective Sam Spade. The story is about a valuable statuette, and Spade gets caught up in a web of lies and danger while trying to find it. The dialogue is snappy, and it gives a good taste of the noir - influenced mystery genre.

There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

``` Entering the world of the Scripted Murder Game isn't scary. Playing the role of the murderer is still doable. Playing the role of the victim is fine. Playing the role of a girl is manageable. Even if you have to deal with dark, strange monsters, and accidentally get tainted by them, it's no big deal. Shuo looked at the script in his hand and felt that he could still play the part! … But after adding a bunch of teammates with mental issues, he felt that he couldn't go on acting. This script is a bit off too! Shuo, "Can we not have a murderer, a victim, a girl, or psychos, and just have a normal person?" … —————— 【Non-traditional Scripted Murder Mystery Game】 【Attention: The plot will gradually shift from normal to bizarre, focusing on tasks. Each Scripted Murder Game script is original, not fan-made. Non-original scripts will be indicated.】 【Ensemble cast, with undercovers, role-playing, disguises, no female lead.】 ```
