New murder mystery books are being published all the time. Fans often sign up for emails which notify them about the latest offerings in a series or a book recently published by a favorite author.

One of the reasons so many people seem to enjoy novels of this kind is because they become involved in solving a puzzle. The authors subtly drops clues enabling the reader to reach certain conclusions. The idea is to create as much suspense as possible and prevent the reader from guessing who the murderer is too early but at the same time offering them just enough information to keep them involved. Red herrings may be introduced too, as a way to misdirect the reader.

Murders take place in all kinds of places. A body may be found on a deserted beach or in a railway station. Someone may be murdered in a hotel room during a convention or drowned in a lake. Sometimes they are set within a certain world such as sport, the arts or politics. The setting is important in creating the atmosphere of the story.
