Can’t Miss Mysteries Currently on Netflix

Love a good mystery? You’ll love these two spectacular shows, streaming right now on Netflix and oh so worth the watch!

Broadchurch. Definitely not for the faint of heart, Broadchurch is compelling drama that can get heavy, really heavy, but is still well worth the watch. When a young boy is found dead in a sleepy little town, the detectives charged with finding his killer uncover more than they bargain for. The show’s writing is spectacular, with twist after twist always keeping the audience guessing, but it really shines when it comes to the cast. David Tennant offers up what is quite possibly the best dramatic performance of his life, and Olivia Coleman seems perfectly suited as his on screen partner.

Twin Peaks. Although released all the way back in the 90s, David Lynch’s Twin Peaks continues to enjoy a cult following to this very day, one which has only been amplified thanks to the current Showtime revival. The show stars Kyle MacLachlan as Special Agent Dale Cooper, who uncovers far more than he bargained for when charged with investigating the murder of homecoming queen Laura Palmer. The small town murder mystery soon turns to the supernatural, as Cooper’s investigation leads to conspiracy theories, otherworldly beings, time travel, and dwarves in red business suits. If you haven’t already watched Twin Peaks, you’re seriously missing out.

Four Reasons to Read Mysteries

With countless titles available from classic to contemporary, mystery novels are an essential part of the literary world. When on the hunt for your next read, mystery might be just the genre for you. Here are four great reasons to make your next read a mystery novel.

A great escape! Odds are the right mystery will have the power to transport you into another world, one so far removed from the daily details of life that you’ll have no choice but to immerse yourself into the unknown, and no desire to do anything else!

Everyone loves a good puzzle. Mystery novels are much like a good puzzle, slowly but surely pieces of the puzzle are collected one at a time until a picture starts to form, and we all know the feeling of excitement that can bring!

The power of deduction. You may not be Sherlock Holmes just yet, but the more you read the more your brain develops the critical thinking skills that come from reading a good mystery novel.

The everyday hero. We love our heroes to be relatable, and more often than not the hero of a good mystery novel doesn’t have any super strength or magical powers, they’re people just like us, who save the day with nothing more than the power of deduction.
