Just finished 'A Wild Sheep Chase" by Murakami and about to start 'The Picture of Dorian Grey'.
Once I'm done with Dorian Grey I'd like to explore some mystery novels! I've had lots of bad experiences with that genre even if I adore playing detective myself (I can't finish the book and reveal the perpetrator unless I have a theory I believe in ) but some stories I've read are so insulting where the detective relies on information the reader doesn't have access to or where EVERYTHING is solved through a series of secret passages. Knox would be pissed...
So can anyone recommend me an actual crime/mystery novel? I was thinking Agatha Christie but since I've never read any of her books I can't tell if they're what I'm looking for at the moment.
