Welcome to this week's Wednesday Blogging Challenge. Today we are all talking about our favorite authors in X genre.
As most of you know, I read all over the place - eclectic doesn't begin to describe it. You can see a few here.
Because I have loved mysteries since I was young (Nancy Drew, anyone?), here are some of my current favorite mystery authors:
Agatha Christie: Truly the Grand Dame of Mystery. I love Poirot and Miss Marple, along with Tommy and Tuppence.
P.D. James: I absolutely love her Dalgleish novels, plus Death Comes to Pemerley. I've tried listening to The Childen of Men, but want to try that one again in print. She also has a Cordelia Gray series I've not yet read...anyone have any thoughts on those?
Ngaio Marsh: Another series writer (I am sensing a theme here). Her detective was British CID detective Roderick Alleyn, and there are a LOT of these I've not read! Time's awasting!
Alan Bradley: I discovered this author while still working at the library and fell in love with his character Flavia de Luce. I've thoroughly enjoyed these and I'm very excited as he has a new book out I've not yet read.
Finally, but by no means least, I give you Louise Penny: Ms. Penny is another author with an amazing series and detective - Chief Inspector Armand Gamache. She also has a new book out this year that I'm ready to get my hands on!

I love mysteries as well and have a couple of friends who rave about Louise Penny! She is on my to read list for this year.

Mystery really isn't my genre - I'm not sure why, since I enjoy elements of mystery in other sorts of stories. It probably just means I haven't found the right mystery authors, and this list looks like a great place to start looking.
ReplyDeleteMy list is here.
I've probably mentioned it before, but I got my one and only detention from reading an Agatha Christie book in the seventh grade. Lol! I was reading Murder on the Orient Express and didn't want to put it down, so I kept reading instead of diagramming sentences. I got busted and subsequently got detention. I was told I didn't have to serve it because I'd never been given detention before. Still, it was a badge of honor to say I got detention for reading Agatha Christie. :-) Great list :-)
ReplyDeleteI love Agatha Christie, although I could never get into Tommy and Tuppence.
