In the Mood for Mystery

Melanie (The Indextrious Reader) had this to say recently upon reading The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, by Agatha Christie:

Suffice it to say I read this over a long weekend, sitting in the sun with a cup of tea. Is there any better way to read Agatha Christie?

It puts me in mind, almost needless to say, of thinking up a list of moody settings appropriate to various mystery authors that I like. However, it's too close to my bedtime to give it the attentive thought that it deserves, so I'll just note the thought in passing.
