As we get ready for several weeks of stay-at-home lockdown, we are all looking for ways to distract our minds from the news and the piling chores at home.

Mystery novels provide the perfect escape in a time like this. Curl up in a stuffy chair and grab a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine) and lose yourself in the pages of a good whodunnit.

My favorite mystery novels are the ones with a closed room murder in a lavish country house somewhere, a fixed number of suspects, and lots of motive! So basically, every other novel by Agatha Christie!

Since I am a big fan of the genre, I have put together a list of ten mystery novels that everyone must read.

Satisfaction Guaranteed: I have read everything on this list and I promise you, read one or read all, you will not regret it!

1. “Murder on the Orient Express” by Agatha Christie
