Cold case murder mysteries solved years later

[Sarah]

Amateur or professional detective; just novels about someone solving an old murder years (even decades) later. I tried to find a list on goodreads and failed. Just finished reading Agatha Christie's By the Pricking of my Thumbs, which makes me want to read more like this.

The Daughter of Time

Thanks for the suggestion. I read this many years ago. Maybe about time for a reread because I don't remember a great deal.

Traces of Guilt

The Last Coyote - Detective Harry Bosch tries to find out who murdered his mother when he was 12.

Here's a GR list of cold case books under "genre" - not exactly easy to find, sometimes you can experiment with the URL:

I've read the second but not the first. Thanks for the recommendation. It looks good.

Nemesis by Agatha Christie Nemesis

[Sarah]

Thanks. I've read Nemesis. Now you see why I was having a hard time finding new ones to read!

The Family Vault by Charlotte MacLeod The Family Vault

[Pamela]

This one's a bit of a stretch, but.







Rebecca, by Daphne du Maurier Rebecca

[rory]

i haven't read it but A Good Girl's Guide to Murder seems to fit!

[Sarah]

The Family Vault and A Good Girl's Guide to Murder both look good. I've read Rebecca (and the movie is one of my all-time favorites). Thanks for all the suggestions.

[rory]

i'm not sure if you're still looking but the Truly Devious series definitely works!

[Sarah]

Looks interesting. Thanks for the rec. I'll definitely check it out.

Jigsaw by Ed McBain Jigsaw

[Ankita]

Hi, you can check out Black Ice by Carin Gerhardsen. It's a Psychological Suspense Novel set in Sweden. The basic premise is that a deadly accident takes place, and fours years after that incident two women investigate as to what exactly happened. It's a short 250 pages read. Hope you enjoy it!

I love this kind of story! The best I’ve read like this is Twenty-Five Years Ago Today by Stacy Juba. I also like Dangerous Affairs by Diana Miller
