A great ongoing series that blends sci-fi with mystery is 'The Murderbot Diaries' by Martha Wells. It's about a SecUnit that hacks its governor module and would rather watch soap operas than deal with humans, but keeps getting dragged into solving mysteries and stopping murders. Each new novella or novel is a day-one purchase for me. The voice is hilarious and deeply relatable for anyone with social anxiety.
I'm just here to see if anyone mentions 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' series. It continued after Stieg Larsson's death, and the new books by David Lagercrantz and now Karin Smirnoff are... contentious, to say the least. Some fans love the continuation, others think it should have ended. It's the definitive example of the complications of an 'ongoing' series with different authors. A real fandom divider.
I have a soft spot for historical mystery series that are still going. The 'Maisie Dobbs' books by Jacqueline Winspear follow a psychologist and investigator in post-WWI England. The historical detail is immaculate, and Maisie's personal journey through the aftermath of war is as compelling as the cases. Winspear is still writing them, so the series is very much alive and evolving with the pre-WWII period.
Can we include web serials? There's this fantastic ongoing mystery thriller on Royal Road called 'Beware of Chicken'—okay, that's a comedy cultivation story, wrong genre. But seriously, the serialized fiction world is packed with ongoing mystery stories. 'The Last Physicist'? No, that's sci-fi. I feel like I'm digging a hole here. The point is, don't limit yourself to traditional publishing if you want 'ongoing' in real-time.

I quit and dipped. City threw a parade.
Only Jenna Blake—my oh-so-gifted junior who claimed she could "see through killers' eyes"—lost it.
At her celebration banquet, she went full drama queen:
"I owe everything to Kate Mercer. Please, bring her back!"
I laughed. Cold. Not happening.
Last time around, I was the hotshot detective. But every clue I found? She dropped it first like she read my mind.
People started saying I was washed.
So I went all in—three months, no sleep, cracked a massive trafficking ring. Led the raid myself.
She beat me there. Again. Place was cleaned out.
Boom. She's the city's golden girl.
I'm the clown with no game.
Pressure got ugly. My head snapped. I died chasing the last scumbag.
Then—bam. I woke up. Same day. Raid morning. Round two.

A stunning mix of complex characters and perplexing plots always grabs my attention. One series that I can’t recommend highly enough is 'The Cuckoo's Calling' by Robert Galbraith, which is actually a pseudonym for the brilliant J.K. Rowling. The protagonist, Cormoran Strike, is a private detective, and the way he unravels mysteries feels both engaging and refreshing. Each case he gets swept into has a gripping narrative that keeps you guessing until the very last pages. The combination of Rowling's masterful storytelling and deep character exploration brings a unique charm to the detective genre.
In this series, every character feels real, with layers that unfold as the story progresses. Strike is not your typical hero; he has flaws, battles personal demons, and still manages to solve each intriguing case. You feel like you're right there with him, piecing together clues and following the twists and turns. If you enjoy modern mystery filled with character depth, this series is a must-read.
Plus, the sequels, like 'The Silkworm' and 'Career of Evil,' do an excellent job of maintaining the momentum and keeping things fresh. I promise, once you dive into this world, you’ll be hooked, and you won't want to put the book down!
'The Silent Patient' by Alex Michaelides is another masterpiece that messes with your head in the best way possible. For something more classic, Agatha Christie's 'And Then There Were None' is a timeless whodunit that never gets old. I also recently got hooked on Tana French's 'Dublin Murder Squad' series—each book focuses on a different detective, and the atmospheric writing pulls you right into Ireland's gritty underbelly.
If you want a mix of mystery and supernatural, 'The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle' by Stuart Turton is a wild ride with a Groundhog Day-style murder mystery. And don't skip 'Sharp Objects' by Gillian Flynn if you love dark, twisted family secrets. These books all have one thing in common: they'll make you cancel plans just to keep reading.
Thriller lovers, buckle up because I've got some spine-chilling recommendations that will keep you up all night. 'Gone Girl' by Gillian Flynn is a modern classic, with its twisted plot and unreliable narrators making it impossible to put down. Another must-read is 'The Silent Patient' by Alex Michaelides, which blends psychological depth with a shocking twist. For those who enjoy legal thrillers, 'The Lincoln Lawyer' by Michael Connelly delivers courtroom drama and relentless suspense.
If you're into atmospheric mysteries, 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' by Stieg Larsson is a masterclass in tension and intrigue. For something more action-packed, 'The Bourne Identity' by Robert Ludlam offers a fast-paced, globe-trotting adventure. And let's not forget 'Sharp Objects' by Gillian Flynn, a haunting tale of small-town secrets and personal demons. Each of these books will leave you breathless and craving more.
I love diving into mystery books, especially the ones that keep me hooked with unexpected twists. In 2023, many of the best mystery novels are part of series, which is great because I get to follow characters I grow attached to over multiple books. For example, 'The Thursday Murder Club' series by Richard Osman released its latest installment, and it’s just as charming and clever as the previous ones. Another standout is 'A Killing of Innocents' by Deborah Crombie, part of the Duncan Kincaid and Gemma James series. These series allow for deeper character development and more intricate plots. Standalone mysteries like 'The Silent Patient' by Alex Michaelides are fantastic, but there’s something special about returning to a familiar world with recurring characters. Series often build suspense over time, making the payoff even more satisfying.
