I have discovered a love for who-dun-it books.
I prefer detective on a case type books. No torture, and no rape, but a keep-you-guessing mystery.
I like contemporary setting.
Can anybody recommend any books that fit that bill?
Many thanks in advance!😊

Right now I am in the middle of Walk the Wire by David Baldacci.
He has a lot of books and they are a quick, interesting read. Sort of beach book detective types.
Holding my interest past bedtime 😩

I like those types of mysteries also. I don't care for the gorey details. I'd be interested in recommendations also.

I found this book many years ago in a book store.
It is called "The Suspicions of Mr Whicher " by Kate Summerscale.The crime takes place in Victorian England .
Reviews " A shocking murder and the undoing of a great Victorian detective". " Brilliant ... exposes the dark secrets of the Victorian middle-class home."
"It is not just a dark, true- crime story,it is the story of the birth of forensic science ."

I second David Baldacci -- he's terrific. Marcia Muller writes a female detective series set in current day San Francisco. The series probably started about two decades ago and the books are quite good. I went back to the beginning and read them all in order and its interesting to see how the character grows and also the writing grows over time. Enjoy.
