Funny mystery books

A good mystery already runs on misdirection, suspicious neighbors and someone asking awkward questions. The books on this shelf lean into that. You get amateur sleuths, unlikely investigators and village secrets, with a body count that rarely spoils anyone's sense of humor for long.

Finding your way around this shelf

Cozy mysteries keep the violence offstage and the community at the center. Comic crime and caper stories put more of the fun into schemes going wrong. Parody and satire use the mystery form itself as the joke. Check each profile's premise and humor style to see which kind of puzzle you're picking up.
