12 intricately plotted crime novels that will keep you turning the pages by Dorothy Sayers
I know I’m not the only one who loves a good mystery, so enjoy today’s list, and please share your favorite intricately plotted novels in the comments section. Some authors are contemporary, some are now shelved in the classics section, all would make excellent summer reads for the right reader. If you’re an author, get ready to take some notes. If you’re a reader, get ready to get wrapped up in an absorbing mystery. Today I’m sharing books from master plotters: the 4 authors that Marisa says she reads when she wants to go to Plot School. She loves when you get to the big reveal and can see the author has been building toward it all along, even though you had no idea how significant those clues were at the time. ( I adore her books, so that’s just fine by me.) But she reads mysteries and procedurals by the bucketful all the same, both for her own enjoyment, and to pick apart how a skilled author can ingeniously put a plot together.
She told us she would love to write procedurals, but alas, that’s not the kind of writer she has. Whenever we chat with authors, we always ask them what they enjoy reading, and I was surprised to hear Marisa confess her love of mysteries. Readers, I love a good mystery, and a recent conversation has me thinking about the mysteries I love-those books that are so ingeniously put together that when you get to the big reveal, you take a deep breath and ask yourself, How did the author DO that?īecause of a project I’m working on (coming soon!), I recently had the opportunity to re-watch last summer’s Book Club conversation with Marisa de los Santos to discuss her newest release I’ll Be Your Blue Sky.
