I was reading the post and was soooooo confused because I mixed up comedian Stephen Fry with mystery writer Stephen Frey ... took me awhile of scratching my head until I figured it out. Fry a very funny guy, yes, he is. I like him in his recurring guest role as Dr. Gordon Wyatt on the Fox...

In Cold Blood was his masterpiece, in my opinion. It was the first of it's kind of the true crime "novel" form; well written, well researched; an absorbing book. He did become a sad man, a clown almost in his later years; must have been hard for him after having been the "golden boy" for a...

I'm a big Lisa Gardner fan ... I like her books and the endings to them. She's probably considered a lightweight in the industry but if you want a good book to enjoy that won't tax your brain, I'd recommend her.

Read Agatha Christie and you're hooked on mystery novels for life. She was probably the author that hooked me into mysteries; impossible to figure out the villians in her books. Christie was a sly writer who kept you turning the pages.

Just love his books ... Robicheaux does get himself into some scrapes, doesn't he? I've read many of them and it didn't even matter that I didn't read them in order in the beginning ... I still enjoyed them.

I've read two of Finder's books, Company Man and Killer Instinct and like them both very much. He's got a few more out there and I'll be looking for them when I do my next book shopping excursion.

Very first book I read by him was The Gold Coast. I was on vacation, sitting by the lake and I was spellbound by the book; spent hours under the shade of a tree reading. I've gone on to read most of his books and am never disappointed.

Just started The Poisonwood Bible and so far, a wonderful read. This is the first book of hers I've read. With many books I am able to sit down and breeze through them; my time has been limited lately so I've not had the opportunity to do that with this book as yet. This one may take me...

I read all of James Patterson's books as I come across them. I very much like the Alex Cross series; I do like series books so that's not surprising I'd like Cross novels. It's not surprising to me that he's a top selling author. Not deep and searching for life's answers but thoroughly...

I used to confuse him with James Patterson, two very different writers. I like them both and have read a lot of their novels. Richard North Patterson is an excellent writer and I have liked everything I've read by him.

I've read Camel Club, The Collectors, Hour Game, Saving Faith, Simple Genius, The Simple Truth, The Winner. I like Balducci ... light, easy reading and keeps the suspense going until the end.

I read all the Bond books at least twice years ago and kept the whole series. I loved them but they were written in a more innocent time and I doubt they'd hold the same allure for me today ... but I'll not part with the copies of them that I have.

I've read both Distant Echo and Killing The Shadows and enjoyed them both. Need to add her to my list of favorite authors! I didn't realize how large her body of work is until I looked her up online. I will make a point to make sure I look for more of her titles. Thanks for reminding me...

After I read his book, I emailed him to tell him how much I enjoyed his book and he actually emailed me back a nice note. In the email he gave me his MySpace information to keep up to date but I rarely go to MySpace now. In December, 2008, he and Lee Child were doing a book signing together...

One of the first stand alones I read by him was "Tell No One" and it hooked me on Coben for life!! Terrific writer who ends with a twist, then after the first twist, he twists you one more time...

Big Michael Connelly fan here, especially the Harry Bosch series. Connelly tops my list of authors I enjoy a lot.

Thank you all for your warm welcome. I spent a long time here on my first foray and posted a lot of stuff ... hope I didn't overdo it but I was thrilled with a lot of the topics and couldn't wait to get involved. While I do occasionally stray, mystery is my favorite genre; nothing better...

If you liked Finder's "Killer Instinct", you'll also enjoy his "Company Man". Another goody from him. I've read both and recommend them highly.

I agree with member tarablythe ... Ann Rule "rules" (lol). Her books are always well researched and always good reading.

Very hard to pick one but I can remember my scalp actually tingling when I read the last sentence, which was a true zinger, in Harlan Coben's "Tell No One". It gave me the chills and, while many authors have made me want to write them at the end of the book, this stands out in my mind...
