| Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Sherlock Holmes is, as far as I'm concerned, the greatest literary figure to ever be created. Doyle was a genius. Thats all there is to it. Nothing else need be said. Doyle is to literature as The Beatles are to music. And Jeremy Brett (right) is to Sherlock Holmes as Harrison Ford is to Indiana Jones |
| Agatha Christie Another of mysteries' greatest writers. Hercule Poirot places a close second to Sherlock Holmes. His logic is no less profound and his character equally novel. Not to forget Captain Hastings. A rather Watsonish sidekick who completes the other dynamic duo of literary crime. (Please forgive the cliche) |

| John Bellairs The best writer of children's mysteries (okay so they can also be called fantasy), I grew up reading John Bellairs. I still love delving into the worlds of Johnny, Fergie and the professor; Anthony and Miss Ells; and Lewis, Rose Rita, Mrs. Zimmerman, and Uncle Jonathon. I don't think I'll every outgrow these wonderful books and I consider the world a sadder place since John Bellairs died. |
