Mystery books & authors

[Remali]

I'm pretty sure this has come up before... But, I'm dying to read a good mystery, I'd like to find a series that I can just get totally lost in. Any suggestions?

I've seen the Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum series mentioned... maybe that is a good place to start? I always enjoyed Agatha Christie, but her books were never long enough for me (I like a nice long read!).

Anyway, any other suggestions are welcome.

I love mystery series from these authors:

• Patricia Cornwell (series forensic series, with great characters)
• Kathy Reichs (forensic series, TV show Bones is based on it)
• Charlaine Harris (southern vampire mysteries -- True Blood is based on these but the books are much better... Her Harper Connelly series is good, too)
• Janet Evanovich (light and funny)
• Molly Harper (quirky vampire series and similar werewolf series)
• Victoria Laurie (both her "Psychic Eye" and "Ghost Hunter" series are lots of fun and light)

PS I wish I could do proper message formatting on my iPhone (bullets, underline, indent...). (eta, I got on the computer... I might have overlooked typos and misspellings, but I made it pretty LOL!)

I read mysteries almost exclusively. I love the suggestions Jill gave you and I'll add Gregg Olsen. Love his books!

Aren't the Sue Graftin (I think that's her name) books mysteries?

Awesome! Thanks! I'm going to jot down all the author's names, and next time I can get anywhere near the library or a bookstore, I'm going to have some fun!

I also made a list of most of the authors listed. I love mysteries and they sound very interesting.
