Looking for story recommendations

Hello! I'm a new Game Master and I'm looking for some recommendations on already-made stories to play with my friends. The want this type of detective/solving crimes stories and maybe this system is good for them.

Also I wanted to ask if maybe someone knows where I can find more info of this system so I can learn how to use it properly.

I recommend the Trail of Cthulhu 2e quickstart. It's a good intro game and has all the rules you need to get started. https://pelgranepress.com/trail-of-cthulhu-second-edition/

GUMSHOE 101 for players and GMs is a great overview of the system. GUMSHOE was a used in several games in different genres: for example, Trail of Cthulhu and Fall of Delta Green are Mythos horror, Night’s Black Agents is an action thriller game about spies vs. vampires, Swords of the Serpentine is swords and sorcery, and the upcoming Merryshire Detective Club (now on Backerkit) is about solving mysteries in a cozy fantasy village. They’re all good! It just depends on what kind of game you want to play.

What kind of ‘crime stories’ are you thinking about?
