Traditional Mysteries on Kindle Unlimited
I've just signed up for Kindle Unlimited and I'm looking for mystery novels, novellas, collections, and anthologies to read and review here on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ. Mystery writers and fans, give me your suggestions! But before you do, please make sure you only send suggestions that fit the following criteria:
1) Kindle Unlimited books only.
2) Fairplay / traditional mysteries. This means the reader is given all the tools to solve the mystery before the detective reveals all.
3) For novels, no longer than 70,000 words. That's more than enough words to tell a ripping mystery without diluting it. 50,000 to 65,000 is the sweet spot for me.
I prefer private investigators and puzzles inspired by the mysteries of the Golden Age of Detective Fiction. I particularly like clever locked-room and closed-circle mysteries with evocative settings. Think Doyle, Christie, and Carr, for example.
