Answer 3

Rebecca by Daphne DuMaurier, a Gothic thriller

I also like:
Nevada Barr -- murders in National Parks
Janet Evanovitch -- funny
James Patterson -- the king of thrillers- all fast paced and exciting, some are a bit gruesome, though.
Laurie King's Mary Russell books (Sherlock Holmes is in these, too)
Karen Kijewski - I used to live in Sacramento, and her detective lives there.
Fiona Buckley's Ursula Blanchard mysteries - a lady in waiting at Queen Elizabeth I's court solves mysteries. Mystery, historical fiction and romance -- who could ask for more!

Grisham's books are good. Easy to read and entertaining -- like good TV. Not great literature, but fun.

Answer 4

Roses are Red-James Patterson

The Face of Deception
Body of Lies
Blind Alley
Countdown- all by Iris Johansen

Body Double-Tess Gerritsen
Cross Bones-Katy Reichs

Answer 5

One of my favourite mystery writers without a doubt is Peter Robinson, also for some comical mystery relief there is B.C. Beaton (Hamish MacBeth and Agatha Raisin books)JIll Churchill, Martha Grimes and Lilian Jackson Braun.

Answer 6

The Unexpected Mrs. Polifax by Gilman
Dove in the Window by Fowler

Answer 7

Check out the J. D. Robb series, "Death In......". There are something like 20 books in the series now, each will stand on their own, but are great also together.
