It all depends on what you consider "mystery" and what you don't...I'll list off a few of my favorite authors, most of which I think classify as "mystery"....I certainly think they are!
Patricia Cornwell
Iris Johansen
Janet Evanovich
Sue Grafton
Jill Churchill
Rita May Brown - Try the ones that are "also by Sneaky Pie Brown"...this is a "co-author" or her cat!
Elizabeth Peters - Gotta be one of my favs!
Leslie O'Kane
That's just a few of the authors I read...but I love them all.
