Top 25 Fantasy Mystery Books

If you like mystery books and fantasy books, then you are going to love this list: a selection of fantasy books that double down as a mystery tale.

Now mysteries are often a regular part of fantasy (or regular fiction) for that matter. But what separates these books is the focus on the mystery elements. Often, these books feature a detective of sorts (in a fantasy world of course) trying to solve a mystery.

Or the entire plot revolves around a mystery that needs solving. Or the book has a decidedly noir or hardboiled aesthetic to it. Some of these books are urban fantasy and involve detectives, police investigations and more -- but with a fantastical / fantasy element to the story.

Welcome to the wacky, oddball world where the fantasy and mystery genres intersect and, on some cases, collide.

This makes for some interesting reading and some of the best fantasy books are in fact both mystery books and fantasy books.

We've carefully selected our picks for what we consider the best mystery fantasy books.

So read this list and pick up a few of our best recommendations to get your mystery fix 'solved.'
