As a child, I couldn't browse enough mystery books to satisfy my appetite for a good story. Nancy Drew's mystery books graced my mind initial and became my initial drug of choice. Because of those lovely school book drives, Mom started me on a habit that I still interact in today. That series haunted me, calling me, asking me to find additional to convey me that mystery fix. The Bungalow Mystery, The Mystery at Lilac Inn, the Haunted Bridge, it didn't matter that ones I had read, I simply had to search out another story to challenge my brain.
In my teen years my fixation of mysteries advanced to mystery/horror stories, or what I viewed as more mature mysteries in general. I still bear in mind when my eighth grade teacher had us scan And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. I thought that teacher was a goddess. Better of all, these books wouldn't let me sleep out of sheer terror, thus I never went to bed before finishing the book I was reading that evening. I embraced these books, despite their insomniac qualities: The Mephisto Waltz, The Amytyville Horror, and even the Exorcist tried and true my fingers at one time.
Mystery book hounds every have their own favorite author, but all can acknowledge the classics. Some advocate Agatha Christie books higher than all others, and then those who have simply picked up the bug would possibly direct you towards Sue Graton. People who like those freaky medical mysteries can steer you in Mary Higgins Clark's direction or Jonathan Kellerman's way. And whereas I contemplate myself a true mystery junkie, my tastes have grown to appreciate the detective and crime books in the literary world as well. John Sanderford, Stephen King, and even Sydney Sheldon have put out some nice books together with many alternative authors.
