Psychological Thrillers

They’re telling me that I murdered my sister.

That can’t be true.

I was in a horrible accident, and my memory is gone. All of it. I don’t remember my sister, my family, or anything about myself. My name. Where I live. Who I love.

Whether I killed her.

But they have evidence. And as my memories slowly return, they’re… not good.

I’m an addict. I did things that were not nice. I definitely hurt people.

I just don’t think I could’ve murdered anyone.

Or did I?

Traditional Detective Mysteries

In December 1893, Sherlock Holmes-adoring Londoners eagerly opened their Strand magazines, anticipating the detective’s next adventure, only to find the unthinkable: his creator, Arthur Conan Doyle, had killed their hero off. London spiraled into mourning-crowds sported black armbands in grief-and railed against Conan Doyle as his assassin.

Then in 1901, just as abruptly as Conan Doyle had “murdered” Holmes in “The Final Problem,” he resurrected him. Though the writer kept detailed diaries of his days and work, Conan Doyle never explained this sudden change of heart. After his death, one of his journals from the interim period was discovered to be missing, and in the decades since, has never been found…. Or has it?
