I am vaguely familiar with /lit/ and its fine taste, yet I do not frequent this board as much as I should. Finally I have reached the verdict to post this question as no one I know can answer it. Should I read any tales of Sherlock Holmes? I've heard it was inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's "The Murders in the Rue Morgue", and I was very fond of that story.

Please,/lit/! Please lead me to the righteous path of Literacy!

To piggyback off of this in a way, what are some good mystery novels that have all the clues beforehand to solve the mystery and find the culprit, but when the culprit is actually revealed, their integrity is still preserved?

What mystery novels focus more on the motivations rather than the actual crime and you find yourself unable to really hate the culprit because their motivations are extremely understandable? Bonus Points if you can figure out the motivation before its revealed in the text.
