Anyone for Mysteries?

[Exquisite Mystery]

I thought I would find out who here reads mysteries.
I tend to include fictional serial killer-type ones in with mystery. I am interested in the whole gamut. So, feel free to post if you like....... say, Kathy Reichs, Patricia Cornwell, Tamar Myers, Jill Churchill, Janet Evanovich, Rita Mae Brown or Lillian Jackson Braun. In other words, anything from sloshily gory, to whimsically themed suburb life, to intelligent normals with especially equipped pets.
I am even interested in your opinions on the old school type of detective stories. Anyone read Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys as kids? I personally tend to not enjoy the Ian Fleming type of characters, but if any of you do, please speak up.
Anyways, thought I would ask around.....

I was about to say, "You forgot Carolyn Keene!!" who was the pen name for Edward Stratemeyer .When I was little my mom had all the Nancy Drew books and I read most of them, and she kept buying the newer books that still came out. I'm not a big mystery fan, but they were a part of my childhood. Read up on Edward Stratemeyer and see what all he had his influence in, its fascinating. I did a report on him in sixth grade that was kept by my library as a reference!

I also like Kathy Reichs. I totally hadn't thought of her as mystery though...but, I guess when you are trying to catch a killer it is..Duh.
I might be partial though since she's a forensic anthropologist and thats what I wanna be when I grow up...

I think I own nearly everything that Rita Mae Brown and Ian Fleming have written.
