I’ve noticed a few publishers that consistently deliver top-tier content in this niche. Head and shoulders above the rest is Minotaur Books, an imprint of St. Martin’s Press—they’ve practically built their reputation on gripping historical whodunits like Ariana Franklin’s 'Mistress of the Art of Death' series.

Another standout is Sourcebooks Landmark, which has a knack for blending rich historical settings with intricate plots; think titles like 'The Lost Apothecary' by Sarah Penner. For those who prefer their mysteries with a literary flair, Penguin Random House’s Viking imprint offers gems like 'The Alienist' by Caleb Carr. And let’s not forget smaller but mighty indie presses like Poisoned Pen Press, specializing in atmospheric historical mysteries that often fly under the radar but deserve way more attention.

For me, historical mystery novels are like a cozy armchair with a hidden dagger tucked under the cushion—comfy but thrilling. Publishers like Allison & Busby nail this vibe with series like 'The Jane Austen Investigations' by Laura Martin. I also adore Soho Crime, whose 'Shinobi Mysteries' by Susan Spann transport you to feudal Japan with every page.

Kensington Publishing’s Lyrical Press imprint deserves a shoutout too; their 'Lady Darby Mysteries' by Anna Lee Huber are Regency-era perfection. And if you want your history with a side of grit, look no further than Blackstone Publishing’s 'Billy Boyle' WWII mysteries by James R. Benn. These publishers turn dusty archives into pulse-pounding adventures.

I’ve spent years curating my bookshelves with historical fiction mysteries, and a few publishers always catch my eye. Crooked Lane Books is a newer player but already a favorite—their releases, like 'The Bullet That Missed' by Richard Osman, balance history and suspense perfectly. Severn House is another gem, especially for fans of deep-cut historical periods; their 'Bess Crawford' series by Charles Todd is a masterclass in wartime intrigue.

Then there’s HarperCollins’ William Morrow imprint, which publishes blockbusters like 'The Paris Apartment' by Lucy Foley. If you’re after meticulously researched plots, Herculean effort goes into titles from Pegasus Crime, like 'The Devil’s Flame' by Chris Nickson. These publishers don’t just print books; they craft time machines with murderous twists.

If you’re hunting for historical mystery publishers, start with Endeavour Press—they’re digital-first but pack a punch with titles like 'The Silent Woman' by Edward Marston. Thomas & Mercer’s 'Sebastian St. Cyr' series by C.S. Harris proves Amazon’s imprint can hold its own in the genre. Don’t overlook smaller presses like Felony & Mayhem, which resurrects out-of-print classics like 'The Daughter of Time' by Josephine Tey. For sheer volume, Berkley’s got you covered with hits like 'The Widows of Malabar Hill' by Sujata Massey. Each brings something unique to the table.

A Second Life Inside My Novels
Her name was Cathedra. Leave her last name blank, if you will. Where normal people would read, "And they lived happily ever after," at the end of every fairy tale story, she could see something else. Three different things. Three words: Lies, lies, lies. A picture that moves. And a plea: Please tell them the truth. All her life she dedicated herself to becoming a writer and telling the world what was being shown in that moving picture. To expose the lies in the fairy tales everyone in the world has come to know. No one believed her. No one ever did. She was branded as a liar, a freak with too much imagination, and an orphan who only told tall tales to get attention. She was shunned away by society. Loveless. Friendless. As she wrote "The End" to her novels that contained all she knew about the truth inside the fairy tale novels she wrote, she also decided to end her pathetic life and be free from all the burdens she had to bear alone. Instead of dying, she found herself blessed with a second life inside the fairy tale novels she wrote, and living the life she wished she had with the characters she considered as the only friends she had in the world she left behind. Cathedra was happy until she realized that an ominous presence lurks within her stories. One that wanted to kill her to silence the only one who knew the truth.

As someone who devours historical fiction and mystery novels like candy, 2023 was an absolute feast for fans of the genre. One standout was 'The House of Doors' by Tan Twan Eng, a mesmerizing tale set in early 20th-century Penang, blending lush historical detail with a gripping murder mystery. Another bestseller was 'The Fraud' by Zadie Smith, which masterfully intertwines Victorian-era courtroom drama with themes of identity and deception. For those who love a touch of the supernatural, 'The Spirit Engineer' by A.J. West became a sensation, mixing post-WWI spiritualism with a chilling whodunit. I also couldn't put down 'The Winter Guest' by W.C. Ryan, a haunting mystery set in 1921 Ireland, where a detective uncovers dark secrets in a snowbound manor. These books not only topped charts but also offered rich, immersive experiences that linger long after the last page.

As someone who devours historical fiction and mysteries, I love when these gripping tales get the Hollywood treatment. One standout is 'The Name of the Rose' by Umberto Eco, adapted into a 1986 film starring Sean Connery. It’s a dense, medieval whodunit with layers of religious intrigue. Another favorite is 'The Alienist' by Caleb Carr, which became a TV series but still counts—it’s a dark, atmospheric dive into 1890s New York crime. For a lighter touch, 'Enola Holmes' (based on Nancy Springer’s books) blends Victorian sleuthing with youthful energy. And let’s not forget 'The Girl with the Pearl Earring'—more drama than mystery, but Tracy Chevalier’s novel about Vermeer’s painting has that historical allure. Each adaptation brings something unique, whether it’s the moody visuals or the thrill of seeing pages come to life.

One author who stands out is Umberto Eco, whose 'The Name of the Rose' is a masterpiece of medieval mystery and intellectual depth. Another favorite is Elizabeth Peters, creator of the 'Amelia Peabody' series, which combines archaeology, humor, and gripping mysteries set in Egypt. Then there’s Louis Bayard, known for 'The Pale Blue Eye,' a haunting tale involving Edgar Allan Poe. I also adore Ariana Franklin’s 'Mistress of the Art of Death,' which brings medieval forensic science to life. For something more recent, Susanna Calkins’ 'A Murder at Rosamund’s Gate' offers a vivid portrayal of 17th-century London with a compelling mystery. These authors have a knack for transporting readers to different eras while keeping them on the edge of their seats.

'The Case Files of Richard the Fearless' is a standout—it reimagines medieval Europe with a detective twist, following a nobleman solving crimes in a politically charged court. The animation captures the era’s aesthetics beautifully, from the costumes to the architecture. Another favorite is 'Emma: A Victorian Romance Mystery,' which, while primarily a love story, weaves in subtle whodunit elements against the backdrop of 19th-century London. For something darker, 'Moriarty the Patriot' reinterprets Sherlock Holmes’ universe through the lens of its infamous antagonist, exploring class struggles and moral ambiguity in Victorian England. These series prove that historical fiction and mystery can merge into something truly captivating, offering both intellectual puzzles and immersive world-building.

As someone who spends way too much time digging into anime and historical dramas, I can confirm there are some fantastic adaptations in this niche! One standout is 'Hyouge Mono', which blends the Sengoku period with art and politics, wrapped in a mystery-like intrigue about tea ceremonies and power struggles. It's a slow burn but deeply rewarding. Another gem is 'Raven of the Inner Palace', a beautifully animated series that mixes supernatural mystery with Tang Dynasty-inspired court politics. The protagonist, a secluded consort with ghost-solving abilities, delivers a fresh take on historical detective tropes. For something darker, 'Le Chevalier D'Eon' weaves real 18th-century European history into a supernatural conspiracy thriller. These shows prove history and mystery can be a killer combo when done right.

I love diving into historical mystery novels, especially when I can find them legally for free. One of my go-to places is Project Gutenberg. They offer a ton of classic historical mysteries like 'The Moonstone' by Wilkie Collins, which is considered one of the first detective novels ever written. Another great option is ManyBooks, where you can find a curated selection of free historical mysteries. Libraries also often have digital lending services like Libby or OverDrive, where you can borrow eBooks for free with a library card. I’ve discovered some hidden gems there, like 'The Daughter of Time' by Josephine Tey, which re-examines the mystery of Richard III. For more contemporary titles, some authors offer free short stories or novellas on their websites or through platforms like BookFunnel. I’ve stumbled upon some fantastic reads this way, like 'A Deadly Affair' by Agatha Christie, which is a collection of her lesser-known short stories. It’s worth checking out publisher websites too, as they sometimes offer free samples or full books to promote new releases. I’ve found some great historical mysteries this way, especially from smaller indie publishers who specialize in the genre.
