I've been on the lookout for fantasy mysteries for my challenge but haven't really had much luck so far. I have already read all of Terry Pratchett's “Watch” books, so I can't use them in the challenge.
There's something quite appealing about mixed genres, unless the author has gone overboard and the result looks like an Indian masala movie – visually great but too long and narratively incomprehensible. Pratchett has managed to avoid that, and I'm looking for another author who has managed to do the same and I would appreciate recommendations. It doesn't have to be in the Pratchett style.
Here are a couple of fantasy mysteries by two authors I hold in high regard:
Terry Pratchett: Theatre of Cruelty
Neil Gaiman: The Case of the Four and Twenty Blackbirds
