If you liked “And Then There Were None” by Agatha Christie...

 


“One by One” by Ruth Ware

After getting snowed in at a scenic mountain chalet, employees of a music app company begin to go missing or turn up dead. Alternating between the perspectives of one of the employees and a chalet staff member, the reader learns about the relationships between staff members and the secrets that begin to surface. Ruth Ware has been marketed as a “modern Agatha Christie” for her work in the genre, and the similarities are even more apparent in this book.

 

 


“The Westing Game” by Emily Raskin

This is a book you’ll find in our Middle Grade section, but it carries just as much intrigue as an Agatha Christie novel. Sixteen seemingly unrelated people are invited to the reading of Samuel Westing’s will. Those 16 people were selected to be sold apartments in the area, but after they turn up and the wealthy, game-loving Westing dies, they learn they’re potential heirs to his will. They’re all given $10,000, paired off and given a set of baffling clues that lead to the solving of Westing’s death and the entirety of his $200 million fortune and company.
