The best current crime novel series

Telling a story in installments builds reader loyalty. At the same time, it allows the author to delve deeper into settings and characters. A perfect symbiosis for the most popular literature to flourish in a perfect breeding ground.

And the crime genre could not be less. Because since Sherlock Holmes, or since the Pepe Carvalho According to Vázquez Montalbán, to cite some great figures, the issue of police investigations in installments was more of a habit than a trend. And that is how it remains to this day.

A custom reinforced, even more so, by the new trends in leisure and entertainment consumption on the main platforms. Screenwriters are going crazy trying to create new installments in any type of proposal. And noir can always develop into more and more plots with more cases to solve or more criminals to arrest.

I'm going to draw heavily on current references and on Spanish products, which is why I play at home. And looking even closer, I would encourage you to check out my series "The Google Maps Killer." A trilogy for you to enjoy with a very special killer and Diana Silvera, the policewoman who is after him throughout the series.

The interaction of both characters gave rise to a lot.

Of course, now that we are in the middle of selecting the best detective novel series, I am going to separate works by their subgenre. Because the taste for detective stories, for that deduction that confronts us with the criminal from his evil work, is not the same as the attraction for the most intense black, where the recreation of murder, death, kidnapping and even torture are basic materials of the plots.
