Columbo I thought always had the best cases. Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer for the hard boiled noir, and for an investigative reporter, Kolchak The Nightstalker with all these X-file type cases and an editor who would never believe him.

I like Dorothy Sayers (could you guess?) and Josephine Tey.

Hardy Boys were cool, Nancy Drew got on my nerves (too perfect kinda like barbie) But I LOVE Trixie Belden. Since I am 19 I would like everyone to know I read grownup books too. Any suggestions?

Well, I'm reading The Da Vinci code and it is so awesome!!! It's about a murder and a secret that has to be passed on to someone...

I like Hardy Boys better than Nancy Drew, I have to say.

Definitely a fun read - and very interactive. I had a hardcover edition and too much time on my hands, so I visited the author's website. The contest's over, but the game's still fun. (Sorry if that sounds too much like advertising.)

I love Lindsey davis' series in Ancient rome, Falco the informer. There are about 15 books now.
I read Pompei just recently, another historical detective, thriller. Great read.
I started out in grade 4 with Conan Doyle's STudy in Scarlet and was hooked. Of course I'd seen some of the films, Basil Rathbone Blk & white oldies before that. He never says, Elementary, my dear Watson, in any of the books, by the way!

Never read Hardy Boys, and I didn't like Nancy Drew-too silly.
I had forgotten all about Ency. Brown! I loved him!
Anyone ever read Tony Hillerman? I loved those books too.

I personally like Elmore Leonard. Mystery um not so much, but he has a great flare for moods and he develops his characters fairly seemlessly.
