Welcome to the Crime Mystery Books website where a love for mystery and crime fiction books is a requirement!
CrimeMysteryBooks.com is a labor of love between two friends who simply enjoy books. We're dedicated to making this site a wonderful place for readers of both mystery and crime novels to find work from their favorite authors. We have tried to narrow down the menu a bit to make it easy for navigation. Now you'll find three main ways to search for that perfect book. You can find the book by searching through all mystery and crime novel authors (or by individual categories :: crime authors, mystery authors or non-fiction crime authors), by the series list, or by the subjects and themes list. You can also find a great listing of mystery and crime books on audio and in ebook format.
If you're a lover of mystery novels you really don't need us to tell you what types of books you'll find in our Mystery Fiction section. But lovers of crime novels need to know that we've grouped together several types of criminal fiction novels to form our Crime Fiction section. We've also dedicated a part of the site to True Crime Fiction and Non-Fiction Crime novels.
We hope you'll enjoy browsing around, and please remember to check back often as we are adding new content and books frequently.
