Crime & Mystery Fiction for Children & Teenagers

Crime and mystery is one of the most popular fiction genres of all time, and there are plenty of kids and teens fascinated by these themes.

However, adult fiction tends to be too dark and ominous for young readers. Crime and mystery books for teens offer the perfect solution – plenty of suspense, thrill, and even some darker themes, but without the overtly brutal storylines of some adult novels.

If you’ve got a young reader in your home looking for murder mystery books for teens, you’ve come to the right place.

Top mystery books for teens
The best mystery books will set the scene, drop hints and clues throughout the story, add a red herring or two to keep the reader guessing, and still manage a surprise or twist by the final pages. Mystery books for teens will masterfully weave these story elements together, all while avoiding serious adult themes, and sometimes even inspiring a few laughs along the way.

The Inheritance Games is one of the most beloved novels in this genre, as it seamlessly ties together mystery, puzzles, riddles, and danger. It’s impossible to put down, but easy to add to your basket with Booktopia.

No list of mystery books for teens would be complete without a mention of One of Us is Lying. With the simple premise of five teens, one detention, and one murder, this release keeps the reader guessing until the end.

Top crime books for teens
Dark, twisty, and utterly compelling, crime books for teens delve into deep themes such as murders and disappearances, and make it impossible to put them down.

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder is a great introduction to this genre, complete with crime, secrets, and danger. Better yet, it’s the first in a trilogy, and one of many releases by famed author Holly Jackson, meaning your young reader can carry on with the series if they love the first.

Another crime book for teens not-to-be-missed is Sadie. This dark novel follows Sadie as she works to uncover who killed her sister, as well as the radio personality and his podcast following Sadie’s quest.

Explore all the mysteries and secrets with Booktopia’s compelling selection of murder mystery books for teens.
