Maj- the thread with the Dan Brown and Da Vinci code stuff (GREAT thread) was started by Jstkdn and is a couple pages back on this Board. It's simply called Da Vinci Code.

The Eyre Affair is a really good book. I highly reccomend it.

Who's it by?
Another series just came to mind - anyone heard of Cam Jansen? (At least, I think that was her name.) Had a photographic memory and said "Click" every time she noticed something unusual?

I used to read Nancy Drew and Cam Jansen and Encyclopedia Brown when I was a kid. Mostly, since then, I've just watched lots of Christie mysteries on Mystery (tv show) or in movies or plays. If it's not in a form that I can digest in a couple hours, it loses the immediacy for me.
Anyway, I think Mystery is no longer being shown. Shame, really.

The Eyre Affair: is by Jasper Fforde. It is the first book in a series of equally excellent books Which as you may have noticed I really liked.

wireshaper: Next time I'm at Borders, I'll look it up.
Lomine: I've seen a coupla Mystery! shows - lately, they've featured Tony Hillerman books and a British detective in N. England around WWII. I miss Poirot, Brother Cadfael, and Heat of The Sun, though.

Oh, it's still on, just not showing Christie mysteries anymore? Huh, when I was younger they had Poirot on like every other episode.
I just remembered I once saw Three Blind Mice (think that was the title) as a live theater production. That was exciting. :D

Did a lookup on it - is it Mousetrap?
Last time I saw something like that, it was an interactive dinner theater thing. Bad idea with me in the audience - I drove one of the actors nuts.
Y'know that feeling when you've eaten too much cheesecake? Dan Brown overload - I now have all four books.

I was a huge ND fan as a kid. Never was even a little interested in Hardy Boys. I think it was the same reason, wrong plumbing. I have gone back and read several as a adult, and they are childish. But kids today still like them. Never had a fave as a kid but always wanted to read "till death do us part" but could never find it.
I feel guilty reading mysteries as a adult because I feel like I should be doing something else (like cleaning ;-)) but I like almost anyone. David Baldacci, mary Clark to name a few.
