I've actually never read a mystery novel in my life yet somehow I ended up here and like this game a lot. This got me to thinking that maybe I should actually check out some mystery novels. Who knows maybe I might stumble onto a hidden passion I didn't knwo I had.

Now I'm assuming a few of you here must be mystery buffs and I was wondering if you could recomend some mystery novels to a "n00b" of the genre.

Elizabeth George is great too, definitely more complex but I like the differences there.

Thats kind of how Fay Kellerman is too, the main characters are practicing Orthodox Jews so it adds some complexity to the story aside from just chasing murderers.

Make me the fourth fan of the Spenser series. J.D. Robb also has an excellent detective series going that take place slightly in the future (around 2059). "The Cat Who" series, recommended by Sara Lou, is also very good. Of course, Agatha Christie had some wonderful books.

You're welcome. There are parts of those books where I am ACTUALLY laughing out loud.

Hawk can be very entertaining (not Hawkeye Harris, the character in the book, though you're funny too Hawkeye ;) )
