Read John Dickson Carr, who also wrote as Carter Dickson. Read Dashiell Hammett, Ross Macdonald, Stephen Greenleaf, Earl Emerson. Take Talbot. Craig Rice. Richard S. Prather. David Goodis. Margaret Millar. Elisabeth Sanxay Holding. And I could go on and on...
Several of the books I would not describe as "mystery," however, unlike a lot of these "best mystery" lists, this one is aware of mystery writing's past: late 19th century and the Golden Age of 1920 to somewhere in the 1950s. "The Woman In White," "The Postman Always Rings Twice" and "The Big Sleep" are excellent choices. Of course, no argument over #1: Christie's 1939 masterpiece sweeps all before it.
That is the way I pronounce Capote and Lana. Why is your pronunciation correct and mine wrong? Please explain instead of just criticizing otherwise how will I learn?
@@elaineglendinning9297 It’s pronounced CapoTEE. The ‘e’ is not silent. I’ve heard it pronounced that way and only that way for over 50 years. He was very famous in the last century and was often on tv so it was always pronounced that way. Lana on the other hand can be pronounced Lana like ‘can’ or like ‘Lah’. Both are correct. Noir is French and can be tricky. Asking the internet how to pronounce it is the simplest way.
I have read 'And Then There Were None ' several times and I enjoy it very much. It's the kind of book that I would recommend to my friends.😄👍
More than half of these aren’t even mysteries, but thrillers.

Why can’t you pronounce the names correctly?

Good work
Thank you! Only one I've read is Gone Girl which was amazing! Will check out the rest on your list!🤪
Night train - a novella by Martin Amos . Nothing like it .
The Woman in White!
Why nothing by Eric Ambler?
Please learn the correct pronunciation of Capote, Lana, and noir.
AI narration. It’s a must-“red”. 😂

Excellent list. But Anything by: Agatha Christi; PD James; Margery Allingham; Dorothy Sayers; Nagio Marsh; also: Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier; and Winston Graham's Marnie.
I hated Gone Girl! It was a ridiculous story!
Its fiction 😂
at least there are people reading still.
Artificial voice. Too many bad pronunciations.
"Who-dune-it"
It would be nice if the narrator could read/ pronounce the text.
Umineko better
