The series starts with us getting to know her backstory, which is slowly revealed between the case: three widows appear to be giving away what was left to them in a will, and Perveen thinks there may be something wrong. Set in early 1920s Bombay, Perveen works as a solicitor for her father, being the first women in this role. I’m a huge fan of seeing the legal system throughout history and in countries outside of the U.S., so I always look forward to following Perveen Mistry. (TW: predator, sexual assault incidents, not graphic / main case questioned as suicide/ misgendering ) While this book gives a well-plotted mystery, it also shines light on a time period rarely discussed and really brings to life a community of Japanese Americans. Questioned as an accident or suicide, Aki is determined to find out exactly what happened and what her sister’s life was like before she died. When Aki and her parents are finally released as well, instead of a family reunion, they come to learn that Rose has just died, being hit by a subway. While Aki and her parents had to stay longer in Manzanar, the eldest sister Rose was given permission to leave and begin resettlement in Chicago. While the beginning of the book gives us a bit of childhood stories and then being forced into Manzanar, one of the concentration camps where Japanese Americans were incarcerated during World War II in the U.S., the majority of the book takes place in 1944 Chicago, showing what life was like during the resettlement of Japanese immigrants and Americans released from concentration camps. It’s worth looking up trigger warnings on those titles if there’s anything in particular you want to avoid.) (I’ve included trigger warnings where I made note of them, but where they aren’t listed, I didn’t have a record of them. So dive in and marathon a series or take a short hop into a time period with these excellent historical mysteries. I’ve gone with my favorites (well, 17 favorites) and separated them into best historical mystery series and standalone historical mystery books - including historical detective fiction, Victorian mystery novels, and crime books. There is truly so much to explore and enjoy, it’s a genre of riches. Some merely use the time period as a background and others bring to light historical moments that have never been spotlighted in history classes. There are so many historical mystery books it is a never ending list filled with lots of time periods, places around the world, historical events, historical figures, and interesting “detectives” determined to put the puzzle pieces together - or stop a crime. While you’re putting together all the clues, or watching someone(s) solve the mystery, you’re also transported to another place and time where you get to compare the whole this is now and that was then.

Historical mystery books are a fantastic genre combo that feels like getting two for the price of one: a story set in another time period (most argue at least 50 years past) plus a mystery to be solved.
