Mystery and Suspense Short Stories

Who doesn’t love a good mystery short story? Like many, I was hooked on the mystery genre by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories.

Each one was a bite-sized package of suspense laced with danger and tied up with a tidy, cerebral conclusion.

Since reading the Holmes tales, I’ve become a huge fan of mystery fiction and would probably describe it as my favorite genre of all.

In this application, I’m suggesting great collections of mystery short stories.
