Many book lovers will tell you that movie adaptations of novels don’t always convert the story well enough. Time and other factors can be detrimental to the completed movie, but there are some that manage to get the balance just right. Here are some of the best mystery novels that have been adapted into movies. You can find the books on sites like Plotive.
Gone Girl 2014
Written by Gillian Flynn, both the novel and the movie adaptation were fairly similar. This is no small feat considering that the book has some fairly complex plot lines. It revolves around a young woman going missing, and her husband's attempts to find her. Eventually, even he starts to become a suspect.
Death on the Nile 2021
Agatha Christie has had her novels adapted many times over, with Kenneth Brannagh now directing his second Christie movie. The Novel was originally published in 1937 and is one of Christie's best-loved books. Previous adaptations have changed key characters or elements that have made them less enjoyable to fans of the late writer's work.
The Prestige 2006
Based on the novel of the same name by Christopher Priest, this follows two magicians as they try to protect their illusions from each other. The book tells the story through the two characters diary entries, and the movie does a good job of transferring that idea. You can find the book on Plotive.
