Every Thriller Reader Needs an Amateur Detective Starter Kit

Before I was a mystery reader, I was a Honey West fan. Between her pet tiger, signature beauty mark, and crime-solving adventures, she convinced me that detective work looked like a lot of fun. In honor of every thriller reader who's ever been absolutely certain they knew who the killer was, here's my completely unofficial starter kit for solving a murder—without actually solving a murder.

Buongiorno. Yesterday, the supermarket on Via Nova had onions from Chioggia on sale. The store is not exactly close by, but still worth the walk. I could not miss that opportunity.

Buongiorno. Where it gets dark and smells a little musty. That would probably be a better way to describe it. I’ll let Silvana Mercuti know right away!

How well do we really know our family history?

In Taken to the Grave, Robert Hoffman combines family mystery, DNA discoveries, and complex family dynamics into a thoughtful story about truth, trust, and identity. Rather than relying on rapid twists, the mystery unfolds one revelation at a time, rewarding readers who enjoy character-driven storytelling and long-buried secrets.

Buongiorno. Pietro says everything is fine. But I think I’d better go check for myself. Angelo can return the empty Tupperware containers to me while he’s at it.

There's a particular pleasure in the first book of a cozy series, getting to know the amateur sleuth. And then following the clues alongside them. This month I've rounded up eleven different books with amateur sleuths you might like to get to know. The full list is on the blog. Tell me, who's an amateur sleuth you'd follow anywhere?
