Gail Carriger's 'Soulless' is a paranormal historical comedy of manners. A spinster without a soul accidentally kills a vampire and gets embroiled in a mystery involving disappearing drones. The humor is all in the rigid etiquette of Victorian society colliding with werewolves and vampires, narrated by a hilariously pragmatic and tea-obsessed heroine. The romance is witty, the mystery fun.

I keep thinking about 'To Say Nothing of the Dog' by Connie Willis. It's a time-travel comedy of manners mistaken for a mystery. The protagonist, suffering from time-lag, is sent to the Victorian era for a rest and gets entangled in a missing cat case, country house parties, and chaotic romantic entanglements. The humor is in the frantic, confused pacing and the literary references. It's a masterpiece of farce.

Gideon Defoe's 'The Pirates! in an Adventure with Scientists' is absurdist historical fiction. The pirates bumble through a mystery involving Charles Darwin and a dodo. The plot is nonsensical in the best way, driven by the Pirate Captain's utter incompetence and vanity. The humor is rapid-fire, silly, and smart, and the 'mystery' is just a framework for the jokes. It's a short, delightful romp.

The 'Rivers of London' series by Ben Aaronovitch. A London cop learns magic and solves supernatural crimes. The mystery elements are top-notch police procedurals, but the comedy comes from the protagonist's dry, modern voice reacting to the absurdity of talking rivers and vampire jazz enthusiasts. The juxtaposition of meticulous police work with sheer magical chaos is a constant source of humor.

'The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie' by Alan Bradley. An 11-year-old chemistry-obsessed girl in 1950s England solves a murder. The comedy is entirely in Flavia de Luce's brilliant, precocious, and ruthlessly curious narration. Her clinical observations about poisons and her dismissive attitude toward her silly sisters are laugh-out-loud funny. The mystery is just her latest fascinating experiment.

Which fun mystery books mix humor with classic whodunit clues?

Sharon Bolton's 'The Craftsman' has a very dark premise, but the protagonist's dry, sarcastic internal monologue provides a lot of gallows humor. It's a serial killer mystery with occult elements set in a small English town. The humor isn't constant, but it surfaces in her interactions and her bleak observations, which cuts through the tension beautifully. The puzzle is intricate and the clues are chilling. It's for people who like their mysteries intense but appreciate a sharp, witty narrative voice.

I love when the comedy subverts classic mystery tropes. The hard-boiled detective who's actually a sweet nerd, the femme fatale who's just a terribly awkward person trying her best, the murder weapon being something ludicrous like a frozen leg of lamb. It creates a sense of playful surprise; you're getting the suspenseful structure you crave but with constant, clever twists that make you smile. The suspense isn't undermined because the plot mechanics are still sound—the clues are there, the red herrings are planted—but the packaging is fresh and funny. It feels like the genre is winking at you while still telling a gripping story.
