My favorite contemporary detective is Mr. Monk in the tv series (also a couple of books). I have enjoyed some of the Poirot movies as well. <br /><br />You have aroused my interest in the Nero Wolfe novels - I'll check out my library system.parTea ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17106196613047314184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5145467654887895608.post-84984717599126905572009-04-13T14:44:00.000-04:002009-04-13T14:44:00.000-04:00we should go see an opera together.

In return I offer what Katy Davis terms "potato chip" mysteries...they aren't quite as wholesome perhaps as the beloved classics, but tasty nonetheless, and you definitely can't read just one. PD James, of course, and Ruth Rendell and Ian Rankin are all from the good old UK. Elizabeth George is from California but sets all her books in Britain and does it well-they are pretty darn risque sometimes but SO addicting. And finally one American writer, Micheal Connelly...his LA is almost as interesting as Rankin's Edinburgh. (And I don't want to bug about coming to visit us but it does cross my mind about daily....)Axon L.
