Crime Solving, Suspense, Mystery, and Romance

Looking for High-Quality Crime Investigation Stories. Recommendations and Things to Avoid, Please!
No mindless romance that drags down the mystery plot. Preferably completed. ^_^
Can Crime Investigation Stories Start Differently for Once?
In nine out of ten crime investigation novels, the opening has the female lead being told to file a report and leave the team. It’s so off-putting. They don’t even consider her abilities; they see a woman and immediately reject her. How shallow do you have to be to become a team captain? Why not think about why she was assigned to your team? What’s there to like about a man like that?

Recently Got into Crime and Forensics: Any Stories with Two Police-Detective Leads?
Looking for books similar to *Captain, Watch Out: This Policewoman Has Thorns.* To be clear, both leads need to be criminal investigators! I want good writing and tight logic. Don’t treat readers like idiots. Make it exciting. If it’s unbearably cringey, I’ll do a 360-degree Thomas the Tank Engine spin and jump straight into the Guinness World Records.

Any Crime Investigation Stories Focused on Solving Cases, with Romance on the Side and a Strong Duo?
Looking for books similar to The Psychological Crime Master. 1. If there's a romance, ideally one character should be on the side of good and the other on the side of evil. 2. The man shouldn't be stronger than the woman; they should be evenly matched. 3. The mystery should be solved through deduction alone, with no special abilities.
Both Leads Are Detectives, Solving Cases and Falling in Love
Looking for books like "Captain, Watch Out: This Policewoman Has a Sting".
Crime Investigation Stories with a Romance and Detailed Case Solving
I want to read books like *Veil the Clouds [Criminal Investigation]*. Are there any stories where both leads are criminal police officers, with a strong female lead and a strong male lead? The female lead shouldn’t be a doctor, forensic pathologist, or lawyer, and I don’t want fantasy or folk-supernatural elements with monsters and ghosts.

Beast-world, farming, palace intrigue, youth, sweet romance, school life, or a strong female lead are all fine. Please recommend lots of books, my dears!
Any Strong Female Duos in Crime Investigation Stories? I’m Desperate to Read One
The appeal of two equally powerful leads is huge. I much prefer two strong leads teaming up over one being stronger than the other. It’s so satisfying! Are there any stories like that? I’ll be miserable if there aren’t.

I've followed the story from "Little Mountains and Rivers" all the way through, from Xiaxia and Cuocuo to Huaixi, Aji, and the still-unfinished Ye Baiyu, as well as the recently departed Kun Jie. Sometimes it's like an addiction; once you start watching, you can't stop. I cried again and again, yet I was still deeply moved by their stories.
This is so well-written, so much better than other crime novels (no offense intended, please don't scold me 😢). The writing is smooth, and the foreshadowing is simply amazing. It's really, really good 🥹🥹🥹 It starts with a murder case and then leads to a missing police officer case, a rape case, human trafficking, etc., Each case is so interconnected.
It's a great story, but the only flaw is that the men still play the role of "saviors." I really dislike the "strong woman, even stronger man" trope, as if men are the source of women's power. Luo Chuan stood up for Song Kun, Liao Zhixing supported Song Kun through the college entrance exam, Li Chenyang offered to take the blame for Liu Qiaoyun, Liu Mingda paid off Liu Qiaoyun's debts, Liu Peng…
I've finished all the author's crime fiction books, and this was the last one I read. Compared to the two I read before, I think this one is better, both in terms of character portrayal and other detailed descriptions. Perhaps as a woman myself, I sometimes felt the same suppressed sense of powerlessness as the characters in the book.
This book doesn't deserve such a low rating. Reading it evokes a sense of the era, but it revolves around the central theme, so it's understandable. After all, in Song Kun's time, in a small county like Dongning, the patriarchal mindset was incredibly strong; girls rarely survived. Fortunately, there were women like Song Kun, He Xi, Zhou Songnan, and Cao Hui, who led the women's rise.
This is so sincerely written! The struggles and contradictions of every minor character, the portrayal and connections of every woman—it's all so vividly depicted. The plot is intricately woven and full of twists and turns! The pacing and flow between the main storyline and the character arcs are also exceptionally well done. Overall, it's a truly delightful and surprising ensemble piece! 😢😢😢 Women should help and support each other!!
It's written very realistically. This society is full of unfairness and contempt for women. Women seem to have lost their gender and feelings in society. Social norms still bind us, but we are becoming more and more courageous and clear-headed.
I kind of regret clicking in to read this before it was finished 😢! May there be no more child abduction in the world! The author's story is intricate yet interconnected, the writing is smooth, and the characters are all very vivid. Most of the characters are women with tragic fates, but they never give up their desire and love for life. I hope they all get a happy ending, and that the bad guys are punished!
This is a very realistic book that explores the tragic entanglements and rise of consciousness of several typical women. However, the sheer volume of tragedies might be a bit overwhelming for some readers. Perhaps next time, interspersing a few more relatable stories could provide some relief. The book's primary purpose isn't to incite gender antagonism.
A good book with a gradual and engaging pace. While I'm a man, I can't fully empathize with the themes explored in this book from a male perspective. In recent years, women's safety has improved significantly. This book differs from other suspense and crime novels, analyzing women's marital and safety issues around the turn of the millennium. The author has insightful thoughts. This book doesn't deserve such a low rating and is worth reading.
