guys i am looking for something to read. some kind of mystery novel probably. what would you advise?

Answer 1

Have you read Angels and Demons? It's before Da Vinci Code.

Answer 2

Try some Patricia Cornwell. She writes murder mysteries.
The central character is called Kay Scarpetta, and she is the Chief Medical Examiner for the State of Virginia. The first book, Postmortem, introduces Kay in her new job. There are now about 12 books in this series.

Another author who hasn't written as much because she started later is Linda Fairstein. She used to run the Sex Crimes Unit in Manhattan, and she bases her books around real life experiences. Even bars and restaurants visited by her characters are Fairstein's actual favourite haunts, apparently.

Also, have you ever read PD James? She is very prolific and she's been writing a long time, so there are lots of her books around. She usually writes about Adam Dalgliesh, a fictional high-ranking cop from Scotland Yard who just happens to also write poetry.

Answer 3

Down River by John Hart
Too Late to Say Goodbye by Linwood Barclay

Just started reading The Darkest Evening of the Year by Dean Koontz....it's going to be good also.

Answer 4

Pick up an Agatha Christie novel. Murder on the Orient Express is great. If you can ever get your hands on it, Ira Levin's Deathtrap is my favorite mystery of all time.

Answer 5

Philip Pullman the trilogy His Dark Materials.
It's science fiction about a girl, named Lyra, in another world and a boy, named Will, from our world, who meet and save the world from the propatoric sin.
The first book is going to be in the cinemas in December. (Northern Lights or Golden Compass)

Answer 6

anything by Elizabeth George...her series of police-procedurals based in London are marvelous...besides her insight into humanity she shows a wonderful wit and mastery of language. no gimmicks, no tricks, just solid writing.
