Popular Mystery Novels & Stories

c Lucien couldn't help the unease settling in his chest as he stared at the headline news flashing across the screen. His concern was growing by the second, especially after seeing his friend’s name trending in every corner of the internet. He hadn’t expected the story to spread so rapidly—no one had. It was astonishing how quickly such personal matters could become public gossip.

She licked her lips. "Hmm, who does not know the Alpha of this pack." She said and I looked at her with scrutiny. Really? Who does not? She is fishy. * * This book is weird 😂... I don't even understand what is going on with Connor and Alyssa.

“So… um. Have you seen what’s trending?” My chest tightened just a little. I already knew the answer. “Not really,” I said carefully. “Well,” she continued, rushing now, “people are making all these assumptions about Mystery’s secret lover—the one that was exposed on his livestream. You know how the internet is. They’ve started analyzing the footage, zooming in, comparing body types and a thigh tattoo, mannerisms… The clues are pointing to three different celebrities. A Chinese model and two British actors.” I closed my eyes briefly. Angela was listening quietly, her expression turning sympathetic.

The lingering smell of expensive perfume from the parents mixed with fear and despair, hanging heavy in the air. I sat at my desk, turned on the lamp, and opened my textbooks. Under the warm light, the familiar formulas and theories slowly calmed my racing mind. I knew this wasn't over. Giselle's test report and the pills under Sarah's desk were two pieces of the puzzle—but they didn't make a complete picture. And Kathryn? What was her role in all of this? And who booked that ticket under my name? How did they get my student ID and pull this off?

I despised them almost as much as I despised being woken up from my sleep, I rolled my eyes before looking over at Justin, Justin was a tall lanky guy, three years my junior and completely obsessed with murders. “Rush, it is an extremely high profile case and there’s a lot of second guessing going around, let’s face it the Hudson’s are not short of enemies. They’ve been crawling out from the shadows for some time now.” there was a brief pause where Justin and I gave each other a knowing look, only a person with our experience would know that a person who is missing, is a person of interest. “If a person has nothing to hide, why would they run?” I said to Justin while raising an arched eyebro

I think I need to find him… but if I do, how can I find him when I don’t know what he looks like? Will he come to my rescue? Will he end these mysteries?

“Whoever called you cursed, is ignorant. Ever since we knew about the prophecy and what the mark means to us, Craig started researching about marks. He wanted to know everything on marks and why it was so important to his future” The smile was long gone on her face. I also sat up properly, paying attention to every word that came out of her mouth. “We learned about a lot of marks, but the most mysterious mark was the dragon mark. It was said to belong to an ancient park that was now extinct. No one know if it was true or lie since nobody has seen it before” A shiver ran down my spine. “What are you trying to say?”

Something sinister lay in the silence and Dan turned to scan the way. He wouldn't be caught off guard again. A shadow shifted in his periphery, and he turned as a man stepped from between two cars. Medium heights. Medium build. Well-dressed and carrying a briefcase. Not someone Betty would normally have noticed. Not someone she would normally have thought of as a threat. But these weren't normal circumstances, and everyone was a threat until proven otherwise. "Hey!" the man called out, offering a quick wave and a brief smile. "I've locked myself out of my car, and my cell phone is in it. Can you give me a hand?"

I was walking slowly to appreciate the beauty and meaning of the paintings. I touched the side part of a particular painting as I was fully absorbed in it. There's a section of the painting where there's an element that doesn't fit—it's a piece of paper... a piece of paper that's attempting to conceal something that shouldn't be exposed in public.Maybe there's a secret behind this paper? A secret code for treasures? I hit myself as I was thinking purely nonsense. Perhaps it's because of hunger. I should get something to eat now.

I can feel a shiver run down my spine as I gulp. Something is weird about the atmosphere... how come everyone suddenly disappears? I slowly swallow the candy that was sitting in my mouth. It was a soft candy, so it didn't hurt my throat. Clenching the handle of my bag tightly, I try to walk as normally as I could master. *Bathump! Bathump!* Calm down... there must be a reasonable explanation why this happened, right? A shadow shape of a person appeared behind me. The more I try to walk faster, the more it follows me. Turning around to the different alleyway, I tried to lose the shadow. Since I wasn't paying attention to where I'm heading, I ended up walking to a dead end.
