My tastes are more towards the hardboiled side of the detective story, Hammett, Chandler et cetera
My favourite is 'Red Harvest' by Dashiell Hammett, followed by 'The Maltese Falcon' by the same author; after that I think I like 'Farewell My Lovely' by Raymond Chandler.
I am also a big fan of Doyle's Sherlock Holmes series and Poirot is a guilty pleasure). William Hope Hodgson's Carnacki tales are great.
If we go outside of P.I. related hardboiled stories I like every novel I have read by Graham Greene (two of the most famous and two of my favourites being 'The Third Man', 'The Quiet American')

I'm a Harlan Coben fan. His murder mystery books have twists that blow your mind. I really like a book he wrote called Hold Tight

I personally am a huge Poirot fan.
"Ten little niggers" and "The big Four" were mindblowing!

The name of the rose by Umberto Eco. I love the setting (a monastery in medieval Italy) and the plot in which the motive for the crime isn't one of those cliches like greed or lust for power.

You'll love it, I promise. The movie was also pretty good with Sean Connery as the antagonist.
