- [The inugami Curse by Seishi Yokomizo](https://museofbooks.com/the-inugami-curse-by-seishi-yokomizo/): If you love Agatha Christie and have ever wondered what a Japanese version of her might look like, let me introduce you to Seishi Yokomizo, and his most beloved creation: Detective Kosuke Kindaichi. This review may contain spoilers, read at your own risk. The Inugami Curse is set in 1940s Japan, where the wealthy patriarch of the powerful Inugami clan has just died, leaving behind an unusual will. His family, a tangle of illegitimate daughters, scheming sons-in-law, and feuding grandchildren, have been waiting eagerly for their inheritance. But no sooner are the strange details of the will revealed than the murders […]
- [The Boyfriend by Freida McFadden](https://museofbooks.com/the-boyfriend-by-freida-mcfadden/): I finally understand why Freida McFadden’s books fly off the shelves. I picked up The Boyfriend as my first McFadden, and while it’s not without its flaws, I can already see the appeal. This review may contain spoilers, read at your own risk. The Premise The Boyfriend follows Sydney Shaw, a single woman in New York navigating the minefield of modern dating apps. She’s been through the full catalogue of disasters, from catfishers, cheap dates, to men who can’t stop talking about their mothers. But then she meets Tom, who seems almost too perfect to be real. Meanwhile, a serial killer […]
- [Mimik by Sebastian Fitzek](https://museofbooks.com/mimik-by-sebastian-fitzek/): Mimik by Sebastian Fitzek opens with one of the more compelling premises I’ve encountered in recent thriller reading. Hannah is a facial expression expert, someone who can read unconscious micro expression and identify liars, criminals, and killers before they reveal themselves. She consults for the police, essentially translating faces the way others translate languages. It’s a fascinating professional hook that promises a thriller with psychological texture. Then Hannah wakes up tied to a bed in a shady motel, memory gone, with a video playing of herself confessing to the brutal murder of her husband and stepdaughter, everyone in her family except […]
- [The Origins of the Forensic Crime](https://museofbooks.com/the-origins-of-the-forensic-crime/): If you’ve just finished reading my review of Postmortem by Patricia Cornwell, you might be wondering, how did forensic thrillers become such a dominant genre? Because today it’s everywhere, from TV shows like CSI, Bones, Silent Witness, to countless crime novels lining the shelves. But it wasn’t always like that. Someone had to start it. Before the Forensics To understand where the forensic thriller came from, it helps to look at what crime fiction looked like before it existed. The golden age of British crime fiction was built on logic puzzles and clever deduction. The detective solved crimes by reasoning, by […]
- [Seesaw Monster by Kotaro Isaka](https://museofbooks.com/seesaw-monster-by-kotaro-isaka/): Seesaw Monster is technically two books in one, a dual novella collection where each story stands comfortably on its own while sharing a subtle connection. If you’ve read Kotaro Isaka before, you’ll recognise his signature blend of dark humour, kinetic pacing, and plots that reward patience. If this is your first encounter with him, it’s a reasonable starting point, though Bullet Train remains the more accessible entry. The First Novella: Seesaw Monster Set in 1980s Japan, the opening story centres on the external domestic battleground of the mother in law and daughter in law relationship. Except both women turn out to […]
- [Confessions by Kanae Minato](https://museofbooks.com/confessions-by-kanae-minato/): There are books that stay with you for a few days after you finish them. And then there are books like Confessions, which burrow into your mind and refuse to leave. This is one of those books. This review may contain spoilers, read at your own risk. Confessions opens with a middle school teacher, Yuko Moriguchi, addressing her class. The tone is calm, almost mundane. You think you know where this is going. And then, gradually, she starts talking about the death of her four years old daughter. And how she knows exactly which two students in that room killed her. […]
- [Postmortem by Patricia Cornwell](https://museofbooks.com/postmortem-by-patricia-cornwell/): Better late than never, right? Postmortem by Patricia Cornwell has been on my radar for a long time, and I finally picked it up, and I’m glad I did. Published in the 90s, Postmortem follows Dr Kay Scarpetta, Chief Medical Examiner for Virginia, as she investigates a series of brutal stranglings in Richmond. The killer strikes at random, leaves almost nothing behind, and the city is running out of time. Scarpetta, armed with forensic science and sheer determination, is the one person who might be able to stop him – if someone doesn’t stop her first. This review may contain spoilers, […]
- [8 Fantasy Books with the Best Found Family Tropes](https://museofbooks.com/8-fantasy-books-with-the-best-found-family-tropes/): Discover 10 fantasy books with the best found family tropes, from Six of Crows to Piranesi. Mini-reviews for every kind of reader.
- [The Impossible Fortune by Richard Osman (Thursday Murder Club #5)](https://museofbooks.com/the-impossible-fortune-by-richard-osman-thursday-murder-club-5/): If you’ve been following my Thursday Murder Club series review, you’ll know how much I love this gang. Book 4, The Last Devil to Die, was an emotional gut punch, heavy on grief, beautifully handled, but it left me wondering how Osman would bring the energy back for a fifth instalment. The answer, as it turns out, is by letting the characters surprise you. This review may contain spoilers. Read at your own risk, and please do read books 1-4 first. You’ll thank me later. The Gang Is Back — But Different Book 5 opens in the aftermath of Book 4’s events, […]
- [Best Mystery Books Set in Japan: Higashino and Beyond](https://museofbooks.com/best-mystery-books-set-in-japan-higashino-and-beyond/): Discover the best mystery books set in Japan, from Keigo Higashino's Suspect X to Riku Onda and Natsuo Kirino. Mini-reviews for every type of crime reader.

- [Piranesi by Susanna Clarke: A Review](https://museofbooks.com/piranesi-by-susanna-clarke-a-review/): A honest review of Piranesi by Susanna Clarke: stunning atmosphere and world-building, but slow pacing that may frustrate plot-driven readers. Muse Points: 3.5/5.
- [Dungeon Crawler Carl](https://museofbooks.com/dungeon-crawler-carl/): Let me tell you about the most absurd premise I have ever encountered in a book and somehow loved every single page of it. Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman follows Carl, an ordinary guy who wakes up to find that aliens have turned Earth into an 18-level dungeon and are broadcasting the whole thing as a reality TV show for their entertainment. Survivors — called crawlers — must fight their way through the dungeon to stay alive. But here’s the thing: it’s not enough to just survive. You have to do it in style. Ratings matter. The audience is watching. And […]
- [The Wolf Tree](https://museofbooks.com/the-wolf-tree/): The Wolf Tree by Laura McCluskey is a slow burning, atmospheric island mystery that pulls you in with its unsettling religious undertones and genuinely keeps you guessing. What It’s About When a body is discovered on a remote island with a population of barely two hundred people, detectives DI Lennox and DI Stewart are sent in from the mainland to investigate. On an island where everyone knows everyone, and where outsiders are regarded with quiet, careful suspicion, piecing together the truth means navigating a community that would very much prefer to handle its own affairs, in its own way, guided by […]
- [Inspector Imanishi Investigates](https://museofbooks.com/inspector-imanishi-investigates/): Inspector Imanishi Investigates is a journey through 1960s Japan that’s both intriguing and frustrating. Seicho Matsumoto crafts an intricate procedural that transports readers through beautifully described rural landscapes and urban settings of post-war Japan. This is a review of a Japanese classic mystery book. May contain spoilers ahead. Grab your copy from the link below: A murder has been committed in Tokyo, and Inspector Imanishi is assigned to unravel a complex mystery that spans different regions of Japan. What begins as a seemingly straightforward investigation turns into a meticulous journey of uncovering connections between seemingly unrelated people and events. The book’s […]
- [Masquerade Hotel](https://museofbooks.com/masquerade-hotel/): Keigo Higashino is a master of the mystery genre, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed many of his works. But Masquerade Hotel is different from his usual fare in the best possible way. While it contains murders, several of them, this isn’t your typical Higashino murder mystery. Instead, it’s a brilliant character study wrapped in a murder investigation, set against the fascinating backdrop of a luxury hotel. This review may contain spoilers; read at your own risk. The Plot Three murders have occurred across Tokyo, and each crime scene contains a series of cryptic numbers: coordinates that hint at the location of the […]
- [The Silent Patient](https://museofbooks.com/the-silent-patient/): The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides was one of those books I kept hearing about everywhere. It debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list, won the Goodreads Choice Award for Mystery & Thriller, and everyone seemed to be raving about its shocking twist. This review may contain spoilers; read at your own risk. The Plot Alicia Berenson appears to have a perfect life. She’s a successful painter married to Gabriel, a sought-after fashion photographer. They live in a beautiful house in one of London’s most desirable neighborhoods. Then one night, Gabriel comes home late from a photoshoot, and […]
- [We Solve Murders](https://museofbooks.com/we-solve-murders/): We Solve Murders marks Richard Osman’s departure from his beloved Thursday Murder Club series to introduce us to a completely new set of characters and a fresh take on the mystery genre. After thoroughly enjoying the cozy mysteries of Joyce, Elizabeth, Ibrahim, and Ron, I was curious to see what Osman would do with this new series. The answer? He’s created something that feels both familiar and refreshingly different. This review may contain spoilers, read at your own risk Steve Wheeler is a retired police officer living a quiet life in the New Forest, content with his routines of pub quiz […]
- [The Warrior](https://museofbooks.com/the-warrior/): This review may contain spoilers; read at your own risk. After thoroughly enjoying The Coward, I was eager to see how Stephen Aryan would conclude this compelling duology. The Warrior picks up two years after the events of the first book, with Kell now crowned King of Algany and married to former Princess Sigrid. If you’re expecting more of the same reluctant hero journey, prepare to be surprised. This sequel takes the story in a dramatically different direction. The Plot The Warrior picks up two years after the end of The Coward, with Kell now King of Algany but miserable in his […]
- [The Coward](https://museofbooks.com/the-coward/): Sometimes you pick up a fantasy book and immediately know you’re in for something special. The Coward by Stephen Aryan gave me that feeling from the very first page. This is the kind of fantasy that reminds you why you fell in love with the genre in the first place. It’s got everything that made those classic quest stories so compelling, but with a modern twist that makes it feel fresh and relevant. This review may contain spoilers, read at your own risk. The Return of a Reluctant Hero Kell Kressia is a legend, a celebrity, a hero. Ten years ago, […]
- [The Escape Room](https://museofbooks.com/the-escape-room-2/): The Escape Room by Megan Goldin promises an intriguing premise: four Wall Street hotshots trapped in an elevator, forced to solve puzzles to escape. With its sleek cover and tantalizing blurb about corporate greed meeting deadly consequences, this thriller seemed like it would deliver a nail-biting locked-room mystery. Unfortunately, what I found inside was quite different from what the title suggests. This review may contain spoilers; read at your own risk. The Setup The story follows four ambitious investment bankers from Stanhope & Sons — Vincent, Jules, Sylvie, and Sam — who are summoned for what they believe is a team-building […]
- [Heaven's Official Blessing](https://museofbooks.com/heavens-official-blessing/): My journey with Heaven’s Official Blessing (天官赐福 / Tiān Guān Cì Fú) began through the Netflix Donghua adaptation. That first case of the missing brides on Mount Yujun completely captivated me and left me craving more of Xie Lian’s story. When I discovered the novels had English translations available, I was thrilled to dive deeper into this fascinating world. Get the first book to experience the mystery of Mount Yujun for yourself A World of Gods, Ghosts, and Mortals For those unfamiliar with the premise, Heaven’s Official Blessing follows Xie Lian, a former crown prince who ascends to godhood at just seventeen, only […]
- [Tomorrow](https://museofbooks.com/tomorrow/): Tomorrow by Damien Dibben presents an interesting premise: an immortal dog journeying through the 1800s in search of his master. Who wouldn’t be drawn to such unique perspective? (Fair warning: mild spoilers ahead). The book introduces us to an immortal dog named Tomorrow who has lived for centuries alongside his beloved master, a talented doctor and alchemist. When his master mysteriously disappeared in 1688, Tomorrow begins what will become a 130-year search across Europe. As the dog navigates through war-torn landscapes, royal courts, and changing times from the 17th to the 19th century, he encounters various humans and animals companion. The […]
- [The Appeal of Eastern Fantasy](https://museofbooks.com/the-appeal-of-eastern-fantasy/): If you’re like me, you’ve probably spent countless hours lost in magical worlds filled with dragons, wizards, and epic quests. But while Western fantasy has given us unforgettable tales like The Lord of the Rings and The Name of the Wind, there’s a whole other realm of fantasy literature waiting to be explored: Eastern fantasy. When I first stumbled upon Eastern fantasy, I was immediately captivated by how different it felt from the Western fantasy I’d grown up reading. Gone were the familiar tropes of chosen ones wielding magical swords against dark lords. Instead, I found myself immersed in tales of […]
- [The Strings of Murder](https://museofbooks.com/the-strings-of-murder/): “The Strings of Murder” by Oscar de Muriel takes us to Edinburgh in November 1888, where a peculiar murder has Scotland Yard on edge. With Jack the Ripper terrorizing London’s streets, the last thing they need is a potential copycat in Scotland. The victim is a talented violinist, found dead in his locked room with several organs missing—including his heart, liver, and intestines. The only witness is a maid who reports hearing bone-chilling music before the discovery. Enter Inspector Ian Frey, a refined London detective recently dismissed from Scotland Yard for political reasons. He’s offered a chance at redemption: solve this […]
- [Thriller vs Mystery: A Complete Guide to These Popular Genres](https://museofbooks.com/thriller-vs-mystery-a-complete-guide-to-these-popular-genres/): The age-old debate of thriller vs mystery continues to intrigue readers and writers alike. What makes a thriller different from a mystery? Why do we separate these categories at Muse of Books? Let’s take a look into the distinct characteristics that set these genres apart. The Core Thriller vs Mystery Differences Mystery Genre Characteristics At its heart, a mystery is all about solving a puzzle. Think of Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot methodically interviewing suspecs or Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes carefully analysing clues. The central question in a mystery is typically “Who did it?” Or the more popular phrase “whodunit?” […]
- [Murder on Lake Garda](https://museofbooks.com/murder-on-lake-garda/): Murder on Lake Garda by Tom Hindle is a cosy mystery that takes readers away to the picturesque shores of Italy’s Lake Garda. Set on the private island of Castle Fiore, the novel revolves around an influencer’s wedding that takes a deadly turn. When a killer strikes among the guests, the idyllic retreat becomes a trap, with suspicion and accusations flying faster than a gondolier’s paddle. I’ll admit, I picked up this book primarily because of its stunning cover and intriguing blurb. In my defense, judging a book by its cover sometimes pays off – at least in terms of armchair […]
- [The Confession Room](https://museofbooks.com/the-confession-room/): Lia Middleton’s The Confession Room is a thriller that explores the dark corners of the human psyche on the internet. The title refers to an online forum where people can anonymously confess their deepest, darkest secrets. It’s these digital confessions that catch the attention of our protagonist, Emilia Haines, an ex-cop turned private investigator who finds herself addicted to the forum’s unfiltered content. Middleton’s premise is an intriguing one. We all know the kind of weirdos who can be attracted to these anonymous forums, and the author taps into this modern fear brilliantly. The tension builds as Emilia weaves through confession […]
- [Walking by night](https://museofbooks.com/walking-by-night/): Walking by Night by Kate Ellis is a mystery novel that blends modern police procedural with a touch of the supernatural. Set in a city with a rich history, the story follows Detective Inspector Joe Plantagenet as he investigates a perplexing case that begins with a ghostly sighting and a missing body. The book opens with a bang—or rather, a glimpse. A teenage girl, taking a shortcut home beneath the ruins of an old abbey, claims to have stumbled upon a body and seen a mysterious nun-like figure watching from the shadows. However, when the police arrive, there’s no trace of […]

- [From Pages to Screen: The Witcher](https://museofbooks.com/from-pages-to-screen-the-witcher/): The Witcher series, created by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, has captured the hearts of fantasy enthusiasts around the world. With its rich lore, complex characters, and gripping plot lines, it’s no wonder that The Witcher has successfully transitioned from the pages of books to the screens of our favourite streaming services and even to the immersive world of video games. As a fan of The Witcher world, I’m excited to dive into the differences and similarities between these mediums. The Witcher Novels The Witcher saga begins with short story collections like The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny, which introduce us […]
- [The Thursday Murder Club Series](https://museofbooks.com/the-thursday-murder-club-series/): How could we review mystery novels without mentioning the sensational The Thursday Murder Club series?

- [Murder by the Seaside](https://museofbooks.com/murder-by-the-seaside/): Murder by the Seaside is a collection of ten classic crime stories revolves around summer holidays, edited by Cecily Gayford, offering a delightful mix of mystery and intrigue. Like a box of chocolates, you may find one odd taste in a collection of short stories. So, let’s dive in. The Boscombe Valley Mystery by Arthur Conan Doyle: I enjoyed the first story. You’ll learn that Australians used to have a distinct yell of ‘Cooee’—which I have no idea how that sounds. There’s not much of a mystery in this one; after Sherlock does his thing, I bet you can guess who the […]
- [Free Mystery Books You Can’t Miss](https://museofbooks.com/free-mystery-books-you-cant-miss/): I know it’s hard to keep up with the constant stream of new releases in your favourite genre.

- [Strange Library](https://museofbooks.com/strange-library/): Haruki Murakami’s “Strange Library” is a whimsical but also eerie novella that draws me into a surreal adventure. This review may contain spoilers; read at your own risk. The story begins innocently enough with a young boy visiting his local library to return and borrow some books. Driven by curiosity, he asks the librarian if they have any books on tax collection in the Ottoman Empire. Little does he know, this simple request will lead him down to a bizarre and unsettling path. Note to self: maybe stick to more mainstream topics next time? The boy is led to a hidden […]
- [The Narrator](https://museofbooks.com/the-narrator/): Mr. Adams fastens the harness to his dog, Aero, before attaching the leash. He grabs his old leather hat, a book, a small pouch of cookies, and his keys. He leaves his house at exactly 3:55 in the afternoon unless it’s raining.

- [The Golden Age of British Crime Fiction](https://museofbooks.com/the-golden-age-of-british-crime-fiction/): The Golden Age of British Crime Fiction spans from the 1920s to the 1930s. It is an era that produced a treasure trove of classic whodunnits, characterised by intricate plots, clever puzzles, and an emphasis on fair play for the reader. The Rise of The Golden Age The Golden Age was not just about the stories themselves but also about the social context they reflected. Post-World War I Britain saw significant societal changes, and these were subtly woven into the narratives. A million of British men had lost their lives in the First World War, and what had once been the […]

To add insult to injury, everyone believes she committed suicide. Condemned to half a century in Limbo as a “Death by Misadventure,” Miriam must prove she was murdered to move on.

However, she discovers that her elderly next-door neighbour—and mortal enemy—Winnie can see, hear, and talk to her. The catch? Winnie […]
- [Seven Dead](https://museofbooks.com/seven-dead/): “Seven Dead” is one of the Golden Age crime classics by J. Jefferson Farjeon. Farjeon may not be a household name today, but back in the day, he was all the rage. The novel takes place in a quaint countryside town in England and later in Boulogne, France.
