Introduction to Mystery Mondays
Posted in Book Reviews
If I have a weakness for any genre of book, it’s mysteries. I won’t deliberately read a cheesy book of any other type, but I will read a cheesy mystery. That’s not to say that I like the fact that the mystery is cheesy—it’s just that I’ll put up with it.
I’ve discovered some very good mystery writers over time. Most of them are adult. It’s rare for me to find a kid’s mystery that I’m satisfied with. Over the next couple of weeks, I’d like to highlight some of my favorite mystery authors, both for adults and children. And I think I’ll do it on Mondays, just so I can call it Mystery Monday. I like alliteration.
It’s rather obvious that it’s not Monday right now, so I won’t post anything today. However, I hope to have something up at the beginning of next week. Tune in then.

Hmm...well then, I will look forward to Monday!!
Really, mystery is not a genre that I read very often. I devoured Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys when I was a little kid, but they hardly count. lol
I do love Sherlock Holmes...my dad has a collection of all of the stories (annotated), and I have spent hours pouring through them. I've been meaning to read something Agatha Christie, but have never gotten around to it.
I updated the SAYR, btw...might want to check it out!!
Regards,
Sylvia

Mysteries are the best! I'm trying to think of my favorite mysteries....love Agatha Christie...ooh, have you read Rebecca by Daphne de Maurier? That's not exactly a typical mystery, but pretty suspenseful...
