I love murder mysteries , as i dream of being a detective/cop someday , so does anyone know any great books where it starts with a mystery and the killer is revealed at the end ?

I love reading them as well. I've always enjoyed them. If you want to read some good murder mystery books, I'd suggest that you look into Agatha Christie books, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle books. They are some of the best there are.

If you want to read a really fun series of murder mystery books you should try the Mr. Monk series. Its based on Monk the television show and told from the perspective of his assistant. I don't know how much like real detective work it is but it's fun.

I guess this book is perfect for you: The Encyclopedia of Crimes and Punishments from H.S. Stuttman Publishers. We bought a copy of it years ago, and we enjoyed reading it. Based on your expressed interest in reading murder stories, I guess, you'll really like it!

An excellent book I'd recommend is Just One Look by Harlan Coben, it is a rivetting book that I could just not put down!

I love these stories too! I would recommend Agatha Christie's books, which are awesome, even if they are pretty old by now. Also, Harlan Coben, a more modern author, is really great! If you like seeing movies and tv-shows like this, the British show Midsomer Murders is really nice, and also the movies based on Agatha Christie books. Looking forward to reading more recommendations in this discussion!

You can try reading books by Karen Rose, Karin Slaughter, James Patterson, Kathy Reichs, David Baldacci, Michael Connelly, Harlan Coben, and Lee Child. Most of their books are detective/mystery/forensic books. You can search for other authors like her at fantasticfiction.co.uk. I hope the link helps.

Most of the Ann Rule books are true stories from police files. She is a good writer and keeps you guessing till the end. The was another author I enjoyed reading but right off hand I cannot remember. I actually like murder mysteries but moreover true crime murders.

I would suggest for you to try the book called Cutting Edge.
