Mystery books to add some suspense to your day

If you love a good mystery, you will love these books and eBooks curated by the Medialaze review team.

Intensity by Dean Koontz

This pressure-cooker of a novel takes place over a single weekend, closely tracking college student Chyna Shepherd’s movements. She attempts to outwit sociopathic murderer Edgler Vess. If she can stay one step ahead of him, his plans to kill again just might be thwarted — but all this hangs in the balance, as the two remain neck-and-neck the entire book. Seriously, if you want to be sweating bullets while you read, Intensity is for you.

Misery by Stephen King,

“I’m your biggest fan,” was a perfectly innocent compliment until Misery: a novel about an acclaimed author, Paul Sheldon, being held captive by a deranged fan, Annie Wilkes. Of course, in a story populated by just two people in a remote Colorado cabin, the suspense has to be pretty damn good. Luckily, King delivers. From Wilkes’ unpredictable outbursts and creative methods of torment to Sheldon’s increasing desperation, you’ll find yourself simultaneously transfixed and terrified right up to the very last page.

Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie

One of Christie’s most sacred murder mysteries, Murder on the Orient Express, is essentially the reverse of And Then There Were None. Instead of one killer and multiple victims, the murder is an isolated incident — and everyone aboard the Orient Express is a suspect. Fortunately, esteemed inspector Hercule Poirot (and his equally venerable mustache) are on the case. But when each new clue seems to lead him in a different direction, Poirot realizes he’ll have to dig a bit deeper than circumstantial evidence to uncover the true culprit.
