Do you love detective stories?

Post by Donnavila Marie01 »

This book is also considered as a detective story. Karis Deen as a detective in this story depicts the dangerous yet exciting life of the CIA agents. Do you love detective stories? I was reminded that my first detective story book was Nancy Drew, how about you?

I was an Encyclopedia Brown lover. So, yes, I like detective stories.

I kind of like mystery stories. My favorite author that writes mysteries is Dan Brown.

I love love love detective novels and procedural shows and movies. When I was younger, I read all Nancy Drew books at least twice. I'm even listening to 1940s old-time radio shows about Scotland Yard and Sherlock Holmes via LibriVox.

as much as I like detective stories I tend to enjoy it most as a tv series because it makes me feel like I'm been spoonfed the whole thing. reading it kind of takes the fun out of it for me but that's just me

I love detective stories with a passion. I love unraveling mysteries and I especially love it with a long series that focuses are two detectives or a detective working with another official. Like Karin Slaughter, Tess Gerritsen style

I do! I can't remember the title or author of my first detective stories, but I do remember if was Scooby Doo-esque. Kids running around carnivals or something in the middle of the night. My favorites are still Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot. A couple of years ago I started reading Arnaldur Indridason and Henning Mankell.

I've only recently gotten into detective stories, but I love them. I like a good mystery. I can't think of the book that really started me though. My father-in-law loves all those whodunnit shows and watching those with him made me want to crack open some mystery books. I did love Nancy Drew when I was younger but I didn't read a whole lot of them. Currently reading Sherlock Holmes (after watching the first season of the show) and I love them. He's so witty.

I love detective stories! I started off with Enid Blyton and the Secret Seven were my favourite until I found the Hardy boys. Then, Frank became my favourite character for a long time until I discovered Sherlock Holmes.

Yes, I have loved detective novels since reading Sherlock Holmes as a kid. I also enjoyed the PBS TV series Hercule Poirot.
Interested in books that help one's spirit move beyond the ordinary.
