One of the best is 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' by Arthur Conan Doyle. It has a great atmosphere with the moors adding to the mystery. The character of Sherlock Holmes is iconic in solving the mystery of the supernatural - seeming hound.
I'm not sure which Freida you are referring to. There may be many authors named Freida. Without more details, it's impossible to name the best mystery novels written by her.
The 'Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' by Stieg Larsson is also highly regarded. It combines mystery, thriller, and elements of social commentary. The detailed investigations and the mysterious character of Lisbeth Salander make it a great read.
One of the best is 'And Then There Were None' by Agatha Christie. It's a masterpiece of mystery with a group of people trapped on an island and being killed one by one in a very mysterious way. The plot is full of twists and turns that keep you guessing until the very end.
For beginners, 'And Then There Were None' by Agatha Christie is great. It has a simple yet engaging plot. Ten people are invited to an island and then start getting killed one by one. It's easy to follow and gets you hooked on the mystery genre.
Another good one is 'Big Little Lies' by Liane Moriarty. It's a mystery that also delves into the lives of the characters. The writing is accessible and the mystery gradually unfolds as you get to know the characters better. There are also some great plot twists.
Well, it varies from person to person. Some might point to 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' by Arthur Conan Doyle. It has all the elements of a great mystery - a spooky setting, complex characters, and a twisty plot.
For beginners, 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' by Mark Twain has some mystery elements. Tom and his friends' adventures include solving a mystery in a cave, which is a great introduction to mystery within a more accessible and light - hearted story.
A common characteristic is the element of surprise. In 'Magpie Murders', just when you think you've figured out one part of the mystery, another twist comes along. The authors use red herrings effectively. They lead the reader down one path, only to reveal that it was a false lead. This keeps the readers engaged and constantly re - evaluating their assumptions.
