Read Free: Explore the Timeless Mysteries

At Tales of Murder Press, our mission is rooted in preserving and sharing the extraordinary works of early mystery fiction. These novels, now in the public domain, are a treasure trove of suspense, intrigue, and groundbreaking storytelling—and we believe they should be accessible to everyone. That’s why we’re thrilled to offer them to you to read for free, directly on our website.

These stories are more than entertainment; they are an enduring legacy of the brilliant authors who shaped the mystery genre. By reading them online, you’re not just enjoying a thrilling tale—you’re joining us in keeping these masterpieces alive for future generations. Each novel is presented in its original form, allowing you to experience the charm and authenticity of the era.

However, this mission—to preserve, restore, and share these incredible works—takes time, effort, and resources. If you love what we’re doing, you can play a vital role in keeping it alive by purchasing one of our premium editions. We offer high-quality formats tailored to every type of reader: ebooks (with both epub and Kindle versions included), pocketbook paperbacks, trade paperbacks, hardcovers, and (coming soon!) audiobooks.

Every purchase directly supports our preservation efforts, helping us uncover, digitize, and bring these forgotten classics back to life. It’s not just about owning a beautiful edition—it’s about being part of a mission to celebrate the roots of mystery fiction and ensure these stories are never lost to history.

So dive in, discover new favorites, and explore the roots of detective and crime fiction. Whether you read for free or choose to add a premium edition to your collection, you’re helping us keep these timeless tales alive for the next generation of readers.
