I love mysteries, and psychological thrillers. Sometimes they are one and the same. Some of them they make it into movies. I admit to having a passion for the old black and whites. Though modern detective stories do make it into movies as well, give me Sam Spade, or Nick Charles any day.
I have my favorite authors in this genre. Here they are in no particular order:
James Patterson, I actually got to meet him at a book signing. At the time, he was more interested in talking about his then 9 month old son than the book my hubby and I came to get signed. It was awesome. He came across as very down to earth. http://www.jamespatterson.com/index.php
James Rollins is an author whose books you can immerse yourself in. I fell in love with his books when I was asked to do a review of his book Altar of Eden. http://www.jamesrollins.com/
John Sanford, My hubby turned me on to his "Prey" novels. I could not get enough! I think I managed eight in a row before I had to switch to something else for a bit. Dark subject matter, but an awesome author. http://www.johnsandford.org/
Jonathan Kellerman, His Delaware novels I can read again and again. Once again, dark subject matter, but once I start, I have a hard time putting his books down. http://jonathankellerman.com/
M. R. Sellars, This is a local Missouri author whom I have had the pleasure of meeting on several occasions. His Rowan Gant series has a paranormal bent, but it is a thriller through and through. His newest book In The Bleak Midwinter features FBI Special Agent Constance Mandalay, a recurring character from the Rowan Gant series. http://www.mrsellars.com/
