favorite mystery

Oh, gosh, I only read series mysteries. I think probably the Tony Hillerman "Navaho" mysteries. But I also like the Janet Evonvich, "Stephanie Plum" mysteries and the Lilian Jackson Braun "Cat Who..." mysteries. I've also gotten into the alphabeth mysteries. There are the Ellis Peters' "Brother Cadfield" historic mysteries. Then there's the Stuart Kaminsky's "Toby Peter's" mysteries. Hey, I may LOVE science fiction, but I read more than sf.

Oh, I love the Alex Cross series, you know the movies 'Kiss the Girls' and 'Along Came a Spider'. I just started the 'Big, Bad Wolf'. James Patterson is an awesome writer. I also read by him. I think it was 'First to Go' I read 'darwin's Radio' and 'Darwin's Children' . Really awesome book, tough to read, a lot of science, but the have a glossary. Have not read it other books, I am not a Trekkie, but if he has some that are more like the Darwin and not the Trekkie, I would be interested in knowing about them. The series you described sounds real good, I will have to check if they are ebooks. I love ebooks, good for the environment and easy to carry around. Janet Evnovich are funny if you like light hearted mystery. The series that started with 'One for the MOney' is hysterically mindless, Grandma in there is great.

I like Sherlock Holmes mysteries. I have recently been introduced to the Brother Cadfael mysteries. The take place during the middle ages in England and Brother Cadfael is a monk who used to be a sailor so he is not your ordinary type of monk. Very good mysteries. I had not heard of the mystery series written by Margaret Truman but they sound interesting!

Dean Koontz's the huband is pretty good and scary. I enjoy rading him and Stephen King books

im not into mysterys book,i prefer true life stories like dave pelzer

I really like Sue Grafton's Alphabet Series. She is up to letter S. It's about a female private investigator and each one is a different case. I can't wait until the next ones are released. Other than that I enjoy Dean Koontz and Patricia Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta series and others.

My favorite is 'Brother Cadfael'. I found out, he is so valued in GB, there is even a rose named named after him. Shrewsbury Abbey enjoys it's popularity as tourist destination, and I guess it's very grateful to Ellis Peters. I lately found out that the first story, "Morbid taste for bones" is based on historical facts, and there really was a prior named Robert Pennant. Now I found another author, Peter Tremayne, who is writing mysteries about Middle Ages (or even about Dark Ages?) - Sister Fidelma's stories. I also like Sherlock Holmes' mysteries by A. Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie's Miss Marple, and almost everything I read by Rex Stout. as for Margaret Truman, there is one mystery translated to Estonian, it's 'Murder on Capitol Hill'. I'm sure I'll read it soon.

I like the Agatha Raisin series by MC Beaton. Agatha is a vain, middle aged, bossy know-it-all who solves mysteries set in the English countryside. I love her. I also like Ruth Rendells books especially when she writes as Barbara Vine. I'm just know reading my first PD James mystery, The lighthouse, and it's pretty good so far. I've seen a lot of those Margaret Truman mysteries at estate sales and in thrifts but I never heard anything about them from a reader. I'll keep your posting in mind and maybe try a couple somewhere down the line.

I really like this new Genre of intellectual mysteries. I started with the Dan Brown books and then progressed to other similar ones. I read "The Historian." That was a great book. The Third Translation. Those type of historical fact/fiction books are great.

I am now out of this one but, I can never forget the Nancy Drew series and there were others still whose names are beyond my recall. However, I can still remember the mysteries they solved and how they did it.

I love all kinds of mysteries but my favorite is definately the nancy Drew series. I have loved her since I was a little girl.She is such a strong character and very intelligent.The scrapes she gets herself out of is just awesome!

i will be on the lookout for those books in norwegian. right now I do not feel up to reading books in english. Hope they are translated, as I think they sound to be worth my time. I enjoy mystery and crime stories a lot. We have quiete a few really good crime story writers where I live. There are a few that i have read all their books. You probably have not heard of them before as they are norwegian or sweedish: Gunnar Staalesen, Kjell Ola Dahl, Henning mankell, Gert Nygårdshaug. I also enjoy to read old classic crime novels. A variety is good!

I enjoy James Patterson's Alex Cross books. Alex is a behavioral analyst.I know of at least one that was made in to a movie-'Kiss the Girls". Also, Patricia Cornwell's stories about Kay Scarpetta, a Medical Examiner.
