What are the most /lit mystery/detective stories? Im currently reading the Name of the Rose and I must say that I'm really enjoying following William and Adso on their quest to find the murderer and the mysterious book.

Morse is possibly the most /lit/ detective, but I haven't read any of the books, only enjoyed the television series. Cosiest mystery series too especially if you like Classics and classical music themes while solving murders in Oxford.

How much Italian communist theory have you read. Because you won't enjoy the book unless you understand Autonomism.

Mystery novels are reddit. You can take them and shove them up your gaping asshole and then shit them out and eat them. I have never read a mystery novel and I never will. I use them to serve food on and to put down coffee cups.

I like mystery novels. The Master of the Day of Judgement by Leo Perutz is lovely.

"Leo Perutz is the author of eleven novels that attracted the admiration of such writers as Graham Greene, Ian Fleming, Italo Calvino, and Jorge Luis Borges."

"In the Viennese autumn of 1909, famed actor Eugen Bischoff is driven to suicide. All eyes are on Baron von Yosch, who was once the lover of the dead man's wife. The Baron has nothing to hide. But why was his pipe found at the scene of death?"

But to be serious, I wish some of these people knew that dead loser. The joke would be funnier (he was a real plastic paddy type).

Imagine me at that guy's funeral singing this. I should have been invited. I could sing duet with the turk.

Thank you for the recommendation anon, looking into this author and he sounds great.

Lmao at all these idiots who are so entrenched in "muh genre fiction bad" that they can't distinguish between a shitty modern day crime novel and literary detective fiction.

Tokyo Zodiac murders. It assumes that you'll play along and try to solve the mystery yourself.
