My favorite fantasy/magical mystery books
16
items I read a lot of mystery books and love it when there is an added twist, like a slightly fantastical or magical aspect.
The first book in the Invisible Library series, which is one of my all-times favorites. I can't really tell you why without spoiling but as an avid reader, I love series which talk about books, especially their “magical” properties.
The Invisible Library (Invisible Library Series #1)| Genevieve Cogman
The second book in the Inivisible Library series. I love that the characters evolve from one book to the next, even though they can be read out of order. Plus there's a little will-they/won't-they romance in there, which tends to get readers to fever...
The Masked City (Invisible Library Series #2)| Geneviève Cogman
Another of my favorites, again set in the world of books. If you've never read Jasper Fforde, you're in for a treat! This is the first book in the Thursday Next series, which will delight all book lovers.
The Eyre Affair (Thursday Next Series #1)| Jasper Fforde
Witty and fast-paced, set in the world of newspapers with a twist that I won't reveal here. Pure fun!
The Stranger Times - CK McDonnell
Each book in the Thursday Next series is better than the previous one. I'd love to see into the head of Jasper Fforde!
Lost in a Good Book (Thursday Next Series #2)| Jasper Fforde
Miss Marple meets Douglas Adams… you have to read Jasper Fforde!
The Well of Lost Plots (Thursday Next Series #3)| Jasper Fforde
A spin-off of the Thursday Next series. Jasper Fforde has a wonderful imaginataion!
The Big Over Easy (Nursery Crime Series #1)| Jasper Fforde
I can't resist adding Jasper Fforde books just for their titles! In this one Thursday Next battles herself among other enemies. And can you guess her son's name?
Thursday Next: First Among Sequels| Jasper Fforde
How many Thurday Next are there? And which one is the real one? You have to read it just for that question.
One of Our Thursdays Is Missing (Thursday Next Series #6)| Jasper Fforde
Another fun Jasper Fforde series. There be dragons!
The Last Dragonslayer (The Chronicles of Kazam Series #1)| Jasper Fforde
I've read the trilogy last month and could hardly put them down. It starts as a Regency romance novel but quickly moves to a different plane. Gripping!
The Dark Days Club (Lady Helen Trilogy Series #1)| Alison Goodman
How a world corporation tries to exploit the literary world to make even more money. Rings any bells?
Dark Reading Matter| Jasper Fforde
The second book in the Dragonslayer series. I love all Fforde books!
The Song of the Quarkbeast| Jasper Fforde
The first book in the Rivers of London series. Magic and police in a London with a twist. Another one of my go to British authors!
Rivers of London: 10th Anniversary Edition| Ben Aaronovitch
A surprisingly addictive series featuring a psychic septuagenerian coroner in Laos. I've read them all!
The Coroner's Lunch (Dr. Siri Paiboun Series #1)| Colin Cotterill
One of Brookmyre's fast paced adventures, set in a video game. I envy readers who haven't yet discovered him!
