Which Classic Mystery Should You Read Next?

I just came across this short fun quiz sponsored by Poisoned Pen Press.


"There’s something timeless about a great murder mystery novel, isn’t there? The driving forces behind most of these crimes are always personal, meaning that no matter when the book was written (or set), it still resonates with readers today. Whether mysteries are your go-to comfort read or a new genre you’re hoping to explore, it’s never not a good idea to check out a classic title. Take our classic mystery quiz to help you find an older mystery novel you’re sure to love!"
Go to this link and then close the ad in the box below and the quiz is available. You have to keep closing the ad every couple of slides (ugh). There are questions about what type of story and main character you prefer.
My recommended book based on my choices is 
42643538
Murder in the Crooked House by Soji Shimada
About: "The Crooked House sits on a snowbound cliff at the remote northern tip of Japan. A curious place to build a house, but even more curious is the house itself - a maze of sloping floors and strange staircases, full of bloodcurdling masks and uncanny dolls. When a guest is found murdered in seemingly impossible circumstances, the police are called. But they are unable to solve the puzzle, and more bizarre deaths follow.
Enter Kiyoshi Mitarai, the renowned sleuth. Surely if anyone can crack these cryptic murders it is him. But you have all the clues too - can you solve the mystery of the murders in The Crooked House first?"
I have never heard of this but it sounds pretty good. Will add to my TBR pile.

  2. Oh fun quiz! I haven't heard of this mystery though I have read one by the same title by Agatha Christie. It's a favorite and I hope you enjoy this one as well!

    1. Oh thanks Katherine for pointing that out. I didn't know there was a book by Agatha C. I wonder if they are the same. Will see.
