Autumn reading recommendations feature mystery and crime novels

As the days shorten and temperatures drop, several book recommendations have been curated to suit the autumn atmosphere, focusing heavily on mystery and crime fiction.

Classic titles include Kazuo Ishiguro’s ‘The Remains of the Day’, which explores themes of memory and missed opportunities in the English countryside, and Agatha Christie’s ‘Murder on the Orient Express’, a quintessential locked-room mystery featuring Hercule Poirot. Delia Owens’ ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’ is also noted for the season.

Contemporary crime novels suggested for autumn reading include Judit Hidasi’s ‘Gyilkosság a révnél’, a small-town mystery set near the Danube involving a high school principal, and Tom Hindle’s ‘Gyilkosság a Garda-tavon’, a thriller centered around a wedding on an island in Lake Garda.
