Hey there---- I'm looking to read a murder mystery manga with a female protagonist.Romance is a plus but not required. I'd prefer if the manga had a dark ambience. 5lg30

Thanks in advance!

How about Shinrei Tantei Yakumo?

Higurashi no naku koro ni and Umineko no naku koro ni series have a bit of a murder mystery feel, although not quite. They also don't have a female protagonist exactly, the narrator tends to be a guy (but it varies).

Doubt and Judge are also murder mystery style, much more than the previous two in fact, but again, I don't think they quite fit the female protagonist criteria.

All four series have hints of romance (if I well), but it's not really explored.

Ghost Hunt?

Gosick, don't let the cover and the art style fool you.

What I like in Trivial Pursuit style. Pick your category:[img]http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo233/Reid4891/Manga/trivia-1.jpg[/img]

Yuureitou - highly recommended, though there is both male and female lead and you will learn of the female lead only after a chapter or two 😉

I've been into mystery recently...
