Title: Crime stories- any ideas?
Post by DeMark on Sep 1^st, 2004, 10:47am

I just want to ask all of you something...

Well, I love reading, especially crime stories. I read all the stories about Poirot, Maigret, J.G. Reeder; Minette Walters' and Mary H. Clark's books. Can you recommend me something else? If you read something good, please tell me. I would be grateful. ;)

Tami Hoag is interesting, mostly playing in the environment of horseracing, the rich and richer, snobs and wannabees

Sherlock Holmes (by Arthur Conan Doyle) and Agatha Christie.

Well, I wrote Poirot, that's Agatha Christie. And I completely forogt about Holmes! I read everything that I could get here in Croatia, even a few stories in English! He's my favourite! But thank you.

Tami Hoag? I think that I read something... it's Quiet water if translated from English, I don't know the original name...

Try Tony Hillerman. He writes murder mysteries located in the US Southwest on or near the Indian Reservations. Interesting bits of history and Native customs.

How about Jonathan Kellerman?

Psychologist hobbying on crimessolutions, nice. Good environmental descriptions and some sort of whodunnit. Different from Christie, cause the evil-do-er is found with 50 pages to go in the story. Only problem is to have the criminal to admit his action(s)
