Can you recommend the best fiction true crime books?

Sure. 'The Devil in the White City' by Erik Larson is excellent. It combines the true story of the 1893 Chicago World's Fair with the real - life serial killer H. H. Holmes. It's a fascinating blend of historical events and true crime. Another one is 'The Girls' by Emma Cline. Based on the Manson Family murders, it tells the story from the perspective of a girl who gets involved with a cult - like group on the brink of violence.

Sure. 'Sadie' by Courtney Summers is a great ya true crime fiction. It follows a girl's journey to avenge her sister's death.

I think 'The Silence of the Lambs' is among the best. It has the iconic character Hannibal Lecter. The way the author, Thomas Harris, weaves the story of FBI trainee Clarice Starling trying to catch a serial killer with the help of Lecter is both terrifying and fascinating. Then there's 'Sharp Objects' by Gillian Flynn. It's a dark and disturbing story about a journalist who returns to her hometown to cover a murder, only to find herself entangled in her own past traumas.

Sure. 'Sherlock Holmes' stories are always great. They are full of clever deductions. 'And Then There Were None' by Agatha Christie is also wonderful. It has a really unique and suspenseful setup.

For beginners, I'd suggest 'Sherlock Holmes' stories by Arthur Conan Doyle. They are easy to read and the mysteries are really engaging. Holmes' deductive reasoning is a joy to follow.

Sure. 'And Then There Were None' by Agatha Christie. It's a gripping tale where ten strangers are lured to an island, and one by one, they start to die in mysterious ways. Christie's ability to build suspense is remarkable in this book.

I would also recommend 'The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency' series by Alexander McCall Smith. It's set in Botswana and follows Precious Ramotswe as she solves various mysteries in a very down - to - earth and charming way. It's different from the typical gritty crime fiction.

I'd also recommend 'The Chain' by Adrian McKinty. It had a really interesting and terrifying premise. The idea of a kidnapping chain where parents are forced to kidnap another child to get their own back was a very unique concept in crime fiction in 2019.

Another great one is 'Big Little Lies' by Liane Moriarty. It combines elements of crime with the daily lives of women. The mystery unfolds gradually as we learn more about the characters and their secrets.

Sure. 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' is a great start. The stories are short and engaging, and you can easily follow Holmes' brilliant deductions. Another good one is 'The Westing Game' by Ellen Raskin. It has an interesting mystery plot that is not too complex for beginners and has a diverse set of characters. 'A Study in Scarlet', also part of the Sherlock Holmes series, is a good pick as it sets the foundation for Holmes' character and his methods of solving crimes.
