Well..I know you like mystery novels..but first and foremost I must put forth my favorite book.....The Count of Monte Cristo...yes it is an old classic..but damn..it's a good book. and about 20times the amount of story line and is way more interesting than the movie.
anyway: Davinci Code (the movie sucked *** in comparison with the book)
Angels and Demons (Dan Brown may have written a tad controversial and mixed up facts in his books...but he CAN write.lol)
..my mom is in love with Mary Higgins Clark Books..good mysteries.
summer is always a great time to read a series too : Anne of Green Gables always pulls at my heartstrings..lol
also..personal reccomendation : The Power of One (it's a South African classic..i think it's a true story..but you would never guess it with how amazing it is) :)

Anything by Agitha Christie. My favorite is "And Then There Were None" simply because it made me think the whole entire story. It's awesome. You'll love it!
One of my favorite mysteries/thrillers is 'Always Six O'Clock' by Phoef Sutton. I try to recommend it to anyone and everyone because it isn't that well known since it is his first and only book, but is SOO amazing and I could read it over and over and never get tired of it. Please, give it a try. I am sure you will feel the same way! It doesn't take long to get to the point, either. =)

K well... The best book I can think of is by Agatha Christie called and then there were none. It's about this group of people who head to a vacation which they were invited to and secretly one of them may be a murderer. they are all trapped on the island! When the book is over, you have to read the last passage which follows the story. It describes in detail an explanation. I didn't read that and I was like "?" Then my grandma told me to read in and I was like OH! It's very good.

ooh
agatha christie has some good books.
i have only read one though, its called "And Then There Were None".
its like a murder mystery but its really good. you wont want to put it down!
and if you read it, the beginning is a little slow but its just describing the characters, but after that, it gets really good.
enjoy your summer! :)
