I love a mystery. Growing up I couldn't get enough of them. My favorite book were the series of "Trixie Beldon" and "Nancy Drew". I even read "Hardy Boy" mysteries.
There was nothing like a good mystery to peak my interest in reading. Following the clues and solving the mystery was my favorite pastime. I couldn't wait to turn the pages.
Now as an adult, I still love mysteries but my tastes have grown to include such authors as Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and Agatha Christie, just to name a few. I lose myself in this type of book.
Are you a mystery/suspense lovers? Who are among your favorites?

@HazySue Yes, you are, which is why I have such a hard time writing romance. The though gags me. Though I am trying to do just that. I have one romance on my whiteboard - Love's Illusion. I've had a lot of trouble writing it. I can't fit my writing inside the romance mold. It keeps overflowing the mold. So, when I get this one finished, it will definitely be outside the box of a normal romance.

I do love mysteries, but I don't read anything that goes against my faith.

I used to devour loads of mystery/suspense/thriller books. Just like you, I started with Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys. For some years I was obsessed with Robin Cook's novels (medical thrillers), and then I moved on to historical mystery (Iain Pears and the like). These days I no longer read mystery novels, but I've recently purchased a secondhand book that has bits of mystery elements in it. I haven't started reading it.

I really like mysteries because there are lots of hidden puzzles, and when they find them they may be untrustworthy and sometimes amazing

I grew up reading Nancy Drew, and yes, I love mystery and suspense as well.
