Books Like Crime And Punishment Novels & Stories

She was sitting under the Christmas tree alone and unwrapping her gifts. That small but heavy package was from her father. He was an old man in his 70s, and he always sent Lennie a book which was about how to become a broadminded person kind of crap. This year’s gift was Crime and Punishment. Lennie just took a look at the cover and then quickly threw it away.

I was in the library as usual reading a book I picked from the shelf when the door suddenly opened. The devil was back! He looked at me with a smirk on his face. “Nice choice of book for someone as innocent as you”. The book was about murder. A mystery novel to help keep my mind occupied rather than dwelling on my problems. I liked romance as much as the next girl but needed something darker and more compelling. Something more relatable to the state of my life.
