I was just curious if any folks here read good mystery fiction. I haven't read much, though I've borrowed and read quite a few of Tony Hillerman's novels. He writes murder mysteries set in a Navajo reservation with recurring characters Jim Chee and Joe Leaphorn, and he has a nive simple, fluid writing style I enjoy.

Dan Brown, although not a classic type mystery. And not so much a who's dunnit, but more a "what is it." They come highly recommended.
Angels and Demons, and the Da Vinci code are the BEST ones. The Da Vinci code actually sold more books in the Netherlands this year, then the new translation of the bible that just came out.

I love Patricia Cornwell, Sue Grafton's Alphabet Mysteries, Arthur Canon Doyle, Agatha Christie and Ruth Rendall. I also still read the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew. (Though I do hide them in a copy of Harry Potter so as not to embarras my son!)
