Many authors are choosing to publish their novels online today. New murder mystery books are constantly made available to avid fans. These fans cannot wait to enjoy the latest in a particular series and are always looking out for novels written by their favorite authors.

One of the reasons this genre has such a devoted following is because of the puzzles that have to be solved. The reader is drawn in to a particular situation and is slowly fed clues as to the identity of the murderer. The best authors create a fine balance, giving the reader the satisfaction of feeling they are nearing an answer but at the same time keeping the suspense building.

The best of these novels reveal more about what leads human beings to act in certain ways. Some of the authors are masters at slowly revealing clue upon clue and building up psychological suspense. Others feed a fascination for conspiracy or make the hairs stand up on the back of the neck. Hearts begins to pound as adrenaline floods the system. Conflicts are created that bring all the aspects of places and characters together and create the narrative of the story.

Many of the detectives in this genre have become quite famous such as Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot, created by Agatha Cristie. The authors writing today are no different and the detectives they create are just as entertaining. They often have deep character flaws themselves and yet we appreciate their sharp wit and ability to get to the truth.

The murders take place in all kinds of settings. Some happen in small villages and others in large cities. Some take place inside buildings and others outside, in forests, in deserts and on mountains. The setting always plays a part in creating the atmosphere.

Once readers have bought a book from a particular website, they often sign up for an email newsletter. This helps to keep them informed about any discounts being offered, when the latest novels come out and competitions taking place. Websites also publish reviews of novels, some written by experts and others by readers themselves. These can be helpful when trying to make a selection.

What happens when a book one loves finally comes to an end? It is possible to get recommendations of novels written by the same author or others, based on what has already been read. Whether you enjoy reading old fashioned whodunits set in country villages or violent, disturbing novels set in cosmopolitan cities, there is something to suit every taste.

The best of these novels are written in such a way that the reader is kept in suspense right till the end. However, the crime must still feel solvable and the clues given have to be believable. This genre is immensely popular and new novels are being published constantly. Readers have no shortage of choice and are always able to find a book that appeals to their specific taste.
