Many thanks.
Jane is reading a mystery novel again
The indefinite article shows that Jane is reading some novel, but the genre is mystery. And, this is not the first time she's doing that.
Jane is reading another mystery novel again
This looks confusing to me. It could have been better without again. Why? Because it seems redundant.
Jane is reading the same mystery novel again
...is loud and clear. Say: she read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and now she's again reading the same.
