Top 5 Fantasy Murder Mysteries You Need to Read

1. The Rook by Daniel O’Malley – A London-based supernatural agency, amnesia, and a deadly assassin in the ranks.

2. City of Secrets by Elizabeth Richards – A magical London underworld and a family curse entwined with murder.

3. The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss – While not strictly a whodunit, the mystery surrounding Kvothe’s master arcanist’s death is riveting.

4. House of Blades by Will Wight – Assassins, ancient relics, and a conspiracy that spans kingdoms.

5. The Blacktongue Thief by Christopher Buehlman – A roguish thief caught between dark gods and brutal crimes.

Every one of these novels balances the deduction of a detective story with the grandeur of fantasy, and I can’t turn away until the case is solved.
