| Frances Fyfield |
Undercurrents I don't know why she isn't mentioned in lists of top mystery writers; I've found each of her books to be very satisfying in every way I judge crime novels (or any novel). |

| Raymond Chandler |
Stories & Early Novels: The Big Sleep, Farewell My Lovely, and The High Window I don't know why it took me so long to read Chandler, but I'm sure glad I did. He's brilliant. I'd be happy if I could write half so well as he did. |

Anna's Book This is just one of Rendell's books from a long list of outstanding crime novels. She's absolutely at the top of my list of favorites. Read any one of her novels and marvel. |

The Monk Who Vanished Oddly, every time I start reading one of the books in this Medieval Mystery series with Sister Fidelma, I start out thinking it ponderous and pedantic, but once I pick up the rhythm I can't stop until I've finished. |

| Jo Bannister |
The Hireling's Tale Her series of crime novels have sometimes been hard to find in stores or the library, but I have found all of them to be unusually satisfying. |

| Reginald Hill |
Dialogues of the Dead Hill's earlier books (in the police procedural genre) are good--well above average. But even better: as he's gotten older his novels have become outstanding character studies. |

| Paul Collins |
Banvard's Folly Vignette's about some of history's biggest failures and how they got that way. Fascinating, enlightening, a bit scary, but great fun to read. |

| John Mortimer |
Rumpole and the Angel of Death Rumpole is one of the most memorable characters in all of crime fiction, and I envy Mortimer his skill at laying out a credible and entertaining plot with such wit. |
