There’s nothing quite like diving head first into a good mystery or crime novel, but many of us just don’t have the time for a lengthy read. When you’re craving a great read but you find yourself short on time, here are three great books that don’t require too much of an investment.
The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (128 pages) Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has spun many tales involving his famed detective Sherlock Holmes, but The Hound of the Baskervilles may be one of the most famous. This time around the mystery involves an attempted murder and a terrifying legend of the supernatural. Coming in at a mere 128 pages the minimal investment come with great rewards!
The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler (144 pages) Another addition to a series that follows a different kind of detective, Raymond Chandler brings us in to the world of PI Philip Marlowe as he’s hired by an old man to look into threats of blackmail. Its 144 page length makes The Big Sleep a quick but thoroughly enjoyable read.
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson (64 pages) Although not specifically a story of mystery Robert Louis Stevenson was certainly no stranger to intrigue. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde speaks profoundly to the internal struggle of good vs. evil inside mankind, and does so concisely, coming in at a breezy 64 pages.
