Dame Agatha Christie
The Supreme Lady of the drawing room mystery.
I own all of her novels and have read each of them many times.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Sherlock Holmes has no peer. Though not as frequently
read as Christie, I also own all the Sherlock Holmes
stories. Doyle would no doubt be appalled, but
I have all of the Basil Rathbone/Nigel Bruce Sherlock Holmes
movies as well.
Ellery Queen-(Lee and Dannay)
Very light fare, but amusing.
Earl Derr Biggers-Charlie Chan
I love the philosophical asides in these novels.
Erle Stanley Gardner-Perry Mason
Wishful thinking...that a lawyer would be so
interested in justice and his client. Maybe this belongs in the
Fantasy section.
Rex Stout-Nero Wolfe
There is nothing endearing about the obese and
sedentary Nero Wolfe, and I find Archie a predictable nuisance
at times, but the combination makes an entertaining
read and I'm still in the process of collecting Rex Stout
novels.
This section is not yet ready for publication. I'm working on
it.
