I've started to enjoy reading mysteries as well as watching them on Netflix. Rather than review yet another hunt for a serial killer, I'll mention a novelist I recently discovered: Stuart Turton. Strangely, I started by reading his second novel, and I'm planning on reading his first soon. The second novel, The Devil and Dark Water, was very well-written. It's sort of a historical novel, being set in the 1600s. It's sortof a nautical novel since most of the action takes place on a ship -- specifically a Dutch cargo ship. It's sortof a locked room mystery since there's murder on a ship where no one can get on or off. It defies mystery conventions in some ways even as it follows them in others. Defiance: the murder happens well into the story. Follows: the mystery features a famous detective.  But most of the action involves the famous detective's assistant. There is an unexpected twist, which is to be expected in any well-written mystery, but the twist defies conventions in its own right. To avoid spoiling the surprise, I will not write more.
