When I was a young girl, my favorite books were mysteries. I read Carolyn Keene’s Nancy Drew books. I loved searching for the clues and trying to decide “who dunnit.” It was fun to read the Encyclopedia Brown series and solve the puzzles.
So it’s no mystery that I continue to read mystery and suspense novels, although the characters and plots are a little more challenging.
Some of my favorite authors now are James Patterson, Louise Penny, David Baldacci, and Mary Higgins Clark, to name only a few.
I encourage you to pick up one of these and try it! You might just fall in love! After all, it is Valentine’s Day!
