Title: Mysteries

I'm always looking for new authors. I really like a good mystery, but so many authors have a lot of profanity in their works and I just won't read them. I was just wondering if anyone had some they'd like to list. I like Dee Henderson and Terri Blackstock for Christian mystery.

I love mysteries too and I am a huge fan of Terri Blackstock. I like reading Jonathan Kellerman and Faye Kellerman both...sometimes they are a little rough but for the most part I don't find them as offensive as some...Jonathan Kellerman has a series surrounding a charecter...Alex Delaware and Faye Kellerman has a series about a charecter Peter Decker.

I just got Terri Blackstock's new book...Last Light, but I haven't read it yet. I just read Dee Henderson's new book, Before I Wake but I was very disappointed in the ending. There was no revealing of the bad guy...I'm hoping for a sequel.

I started Terri Blackstock's book, Last Light, yesterday and I couldn't put it down. It's one of the best I've read in years.

I read Night Light last night...it was good, but I'm hoping for another, there were some things that didn't wrap up for me....

My current fav mystery writer is PD James...I also enjoy John Grisham and Michael Chrichton...no, not Christian writers.
Christian writers...
I don't know if you'd call Frank Perretti a mystery writer but I enjoy his writing. Though I found the last one a bit...well..ugh, lol. His first two, This Present Darkness and Piercing the Darkness taught me the necessity of prayer in spiritual battles more than any sermon I ever heard.
I enjoy Karen Kingsbury and Bodie Thoene as well.

Oh, yeah.... Frank Peretti. I call him the Christian equivalent to Stephen King. I really like Stephen King, but I haven't read him for many years. Frank Peretti scares me more than Stephen King.... and I think it's because what he writes could really be true.... Stephen King's just kinda out there.
I really need to get back into reading more.... I can't seem to find the time to read as much as I'd like. I finally bought all of the books of the Left Behind series, and I am starting over from the beginning. It took too long for the next book to come out as they were writing the series, and I had a hard time remembering characters and such, so I'm starting over. So far, so good.

QL, I got stalled partway through the series too because they were taking so long. I recently finished them, and totally enjoyed them, except for Glorious Appearing. I was a little disappointed in that one, I thought it dragged and a lot of it was just 'filler'.

Well, that's a bummer! I figured that would be the one that would be the best.
