Of course, the best mysteries with a twist are those that surprise you but are rooted in the story. We don’t want a big twist that comes out nowhere kinda like a Deus ex machina. Much like the clues for the murderer should be littered throughout for the reader, a good twist needs to have clues that give the reader a fighting chance…even if it is tiny. While there are some pretty prominent examples of mysteries with big twists (I’m looking at you Agatha Christie), I’m including more recently published or translated works that have big twists. Obviously, I won’t spoil the twist since that stinks but if you want that big aha, these are the mystery books to find them. For even more mysteries, check out this list of best mystery novels of all time and this list of under the radar mysteries. I hope that these books provide you with extremely satisfying but unpredictable twists. They certainly tingled my brain cells! To find that perfect for you book recommendation, turn to TBR!
