I've recently discovered an interest into the murder mystery genre. Particularly impossible murders like closed rooms and full-proof alibi's.

Can anyone recommend me some good detective/amateur sleuth novels about impossible murders like that?
And I mean murder, not just any crime, murder

You need help OP. Seriously.

Georges Simenon, PD James, Raymond Chandler, Dashiel Hammett, ACD, Rex Stout, Agatha Christie, Dorothy Sayers, Leslie Charteris, John MacDonald, William Marshall, Donald Westlake

I don't know if all of those stories fit exactly what you're looking for; neither do I particularly care.

It means you are a weirdo who wants to kill people. You probably need to be put away.

It's called "And Then There Were None" and the only reason you would use the other title is because you wanted to be shocking or something by saying the word nigger
