Agatha Christie is my favorite mystery author because she was such a clever and timeless writer.

I love Agatha Christie too. I have read almost all her books. Thanks for visiting Says Me Says Mom and your comment.
DeleteMy favorite author is James Patterson.
ReplyDeleteI used to read his books, but I haven't in a while. I love that the chapters are so short, and they are so quick to read. Thanks for visiting Says Me Says Mom and your comment.
DeleteAs a kid, I absolutely loved the Trixie Belden (and to a lesser extent Nancy Drew) mystery books! But as an adult, I could never get much into Agatha Christie or the Sherlock Holmes mysteries. But at one time I did find myself absorbed by Sue Grafton's Kinsey Millhone alphabet mysteries! Those kept it interesting for me because of the writing and because each story was really a bit different...not altogether predictable.
ReplyDeleteI remember Trixie Belden. I only read one or two of the books though, but I loved Nancy Drew. Thanks for visiting Says Me Says Mom and your comment.
DeleteI like douglas adams and his dirk gently series. They were fun mystery reads.
ReplyDeleteI like nancy drew!
