My Take On Mysteries

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/
