50 Must-Read Young Adult Mysteries
Two of my favourite kinds of books are young adult and mystery. So obviously when the two are combined, you have my attention. Personally, I love a good, quiet, personal mystery. They’re the ones that focus more on the people the thing happens to and not necessarily on the solving of the mystery. But, just like the adult mystery genre, young adult mysteries are varied and diverse. Like procedurals, spy mysteries, super sleuths? There’s something for everyone. Looking for a great read? Here are 50 must-read young adult mysteries!
