Answer 3

Harry Potter is an easy-to read mystery - there is always a twist in the end, and good, observant readers are sometimes able to guess it, but only rarely.

Ender's Game is also a good book - less mysterious, but very easy to get into.

The Giver isn't a mystery, but the circumstances of the society have mysterious elements and secrets to discover.

The Unexpected Mrs. Polifax by Gilman
The Blue Bottle Club by Stokes
Dove in the Window by Fowler
Joshua by Girzone
A Dog's Life by Mayle
The Rag Nymph by Cookson
All the Way Home by Tatlock
The HObbit by Tolkien
The Treasure Box by Stokes
Rebecca by DuMaurier

Answer 5

Well, it depends on what age you are. If you are considered a young adult I can recommend plenty of books for you to read. If you are an adult then there are a couple that I can recommend.
If young adult is your answer then here are some titles: The Immortals (4 book series), The Dragon Riders of Pern (>7 book series), Song of the Lioness (4 book series), Artemis (just started reading...) there are others but as you can see most of them are series.
If adult then here is one: the Nora Roberts series. I can't seem to think of any more good adult fiction because I tend to lean towards young adult because I like the authors.

Hope this helps.

Answer 6

Street Lawyer by John Grisham, The Cat Who Brought Down the House by Lilian Jackson Braun, Black by Ted Dekker, Sinister Pig by Tony Hillerman, House by Frank Peretti & Ted Dekker, The Cat Who Talked Turkey by Lilian Jackson Braun, The Cat Who Dropped a Bombshell by Lilian Jackson Braun

Answer 7

For mysteries, I would recommend the Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Also:

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
David Copperfield by Charles Dickens
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

I'm sure you recognize some of these authors, but there is something to the "oldies but goodies."

Answer 8

"The Alienist" by Caleb Carr
It is about the only mystery I've read in the past decade. Excellent writing and interesting subject matter. I highly recommend it.

Answer 9

Any John Grisham book. They're easy reading mystery/thrillers, page turners, and you learn a bit about law as well.

Answer 10

A man called Blessed by Ted Dekker and Bill Bright, and Blink by Ted Dekker are great.
