All the juicy drama of Rosewood is officially gone, so where can Pretty Little Liars fans turn to for their edge-of-your-seat murder mysteries now? It's time to crack open a book or two... or 10.

PLL fans know the hit show started out as a book series, and since then, murder mystery novels have grown into one of the most popular book genres on the shelves, many of which find themselves adapted into their own TV shows or movies.
