Esmerelda Sleuth: The Other Side of the Mirror (Book 1)

Meet Esmerelda Sleuth. Sleuth is her name and investigating is her game. (Paranormal Investigating, that is.) Esmerelda makes a good living as an investigator in a rather progressive firm. She lives a stable and sensible life until she meets Lance; an old money "hottie" who works for a real estate firm next to her building. After accepting an invitation for a weekend getaway party, she quickly discovers that Lance has a secret. He is wealthy. That part is true. And, yes, he's procured a job as a realtor in the building next door. His secret is that he belongs to an underground society of humans who didn't abandon their connection to magic centuries ago when religion declared it evil and he has traveled through time specifically to find her and bring her back to his time to marry him. If that isn't enough of a far fetched tale to absorb, he informs her that she was born in his time to a family belonging to that same secret society and was promised in marriage to him as an infant. When enemies who didn't want to see the union of families take place made attempts on her life, her parents sent her into the future and erased her memories of them as a precaution. Possessing virtually no belief in magic, ghosts, psychics, time travel, etc., it takes some doing on Lance's part to convince her to believe his story and go back with him. When she does, the lies, deceit and attempts on her life start all over again. Will she escape emotionally and physically unscathed? "The Other Side Of the Mirror" is a steamy-paranormal-romance- mystery-thriller and book one of the Esmerelda Sleuth series.

As someone who spends hours scouring the web for hidden literary gems, I’ve found that free mystery novels are more accessible than you might think. Websites like Project Gutenberg offer classics like 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' by Arthur Conan Doyle, which are perfect for fans of old-school detective stories. For contemporary works, platforms like Wattpad and Royal Road host amateur writers who craft gripping whodunits—some even rival published authors in quality.

If you’re into audiobooks, Librivox has free recordings of public-domain mysteries, great for listening during commutes. Also, don’t overlook libraries; many partner with apps like Libby or OverDrive to lend e-books for free. Just grab your library card, and you’re set. For niche picks, check out Reddit’s r/FreeEBOOKS—they frequently share legal downloads, from Agatha Christie homages to gritty noir tales.

As someone who spends way too much time hunting down free reads, I can recommend a few solid spots for mystery lovers. Project Gutenberg is a goldmine for classic whodunits like Agatha Christie's 'The Mysterious Affair at Styles' or Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes adventures—all legally free since they're in the public domain.

For more modern picks, websites like ManyBooks and Open Library curate free-to-borrow mysteries, though you might need to create an account. I’ve also stumbled upon hidden gems on platforms like Wattpad, where indie authors post original suspense stories. Just filter by 'mystery' and sort by popularity to avoid the rough drafts.

Don’t overlook your local library’s digital offerings either. Apps like Libby or Hoopla let you borrow e-books and audiobooks for free with a library card. Some libraries even partner with services like Kanopy for mystery films if you’re in the mood for a visual twist.

I've spent way too many nights diving into free mystery novels online, and let me tell you, the internet is a treasure trove if you know where to look. Classics like 'The Moonstone' by Wilkie Collins are public domain now, and they’re just as gripping today as they were centuries ago. The way Collins layers suspense feels like peeling an onion—each reveal hits harder than the last. Then there’s Agatha Christie’s 'The Mysterious Affair at Styles,' which you can find on Project Gutenberg. Poirot’s debut is a masterclass in misdirection, and the fact that it’s free feels like stealing.

For something more modern, check out platforms like Wattpad or Archive of Our Own. Sure, you’ll sift through amateur work, but gems like 'The Whispering Hollow' (a fan-made noir series) have twists that rival paid content. I stumbled upon it last winter, and the way it blends small-town secrets with supernatural undertones kept me hooked. Reddit’s r/FreeEBOOKS often posts curated lists—last month, someone shared a link to 'The Woman in White,' another Collins masterpiece. The descriptions of eerie encounters in that book are so vivid, I had to sleep with the lights on.

Don’t overlook indie authors either. Sites like Smashwords offer free titles like 'The Silent Party,' a locked-room mystery with a tech-savvy twist. The protagonist’s sarcastic narration makes the dark themes oddly hilarious. It’s proof that free doesn’t mean low-quality—just undiscovered.

For short stories, I hit up websites like Classic Mysteries or MysteryNet, which have free reads and even some interactive mystery games. It’s a treasure trove for fans of the genre.

Project Gutenberg is a goldmine for classic mysteries like 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' by Arthur Conan Doyle, offering timeless whodunits in easy-to-read formats.

If you're into short stories, websites like Wattpad and Archive of Our Own often feature amateur writers who craft intriguing mystery plots. Some are surprisingly well-written and addictive. For legal and high-quality reads, check out your local library’s digital services like Libby or OverDrive—they often have a rotating collection of mystery eBooks available for free with a library card. Don’t overlook podcasts like 'Librivox' either, where volunteers narrate public domain mysteries.

Mystery novels have this magical way of pulling you into their world, making you forget everything else. One of my all-time favorite free finds is 'The Moonstone' by Wilkie Collins—it's often called the first modern detective novel, and for good reason! The layered narratives and red herrings keep you guessing till the end. Project Gutenberg is a goldmine for classics like this, along with Agatha Christie's 'The Mysterious Affair at Styles,' which introduced Hercule Poirot. If you prefer something more contemporary, sites like ManyBooks or Feedbooks often feature indie authors with fresh takes on the genre. Just last week, I stumbled upon a gripping short story collection called 'Shadows of Whispers' by an unknown writer—it had this eerie, almost Gothic vibe that reminded me of early Poe.

For those who enjoy interactive mysteries, platforms like Wattpad host serialized stories where readers can sometimes influence the plot. A standout there is 'The Holloway Girls,' a modern teen sleuth series with sharp dialogue and unpredictable twists. And let’s not forget podcasts! Some mystery audiobooks, like 'The Case of Charles Dexter Ward,' are available for free on Librivox. Whether you’re into cozies or hardboiled noir, there’s a treasure trove waiting if you know where to look. Half the fun is digging through lesser-known titles and discovering hidden gems.

Another gem is 'The Moonstone' by Wilkie Collins, often considered the first detective novel. Its layered narrative and suspenseful twists are unforgettable.
