Killer Questions – Favorite Type of Books to Read
We are often asked what each of us likes to read. Consequently, as part of our year of favorites, here is what each of us most enjoys reading:
Annette Dashofty: Mystery and thriller.
Heather Weidner: I like lots of genres, but mysteries are always my go to favorites. Nancy Drew, the Hardy Boys, and Alfred Hitchcock’s The Three Investigators (along with a host of 70s cartoons like “Scooby-Doo”) were my gateway books to so many adventures.
James M. Jackson: A crime novel series. I enjoy watching the main characters live and change while bringing their version of justice to the world. Second choice is a well-written nonfiction book on almost any topic.
Martha Reed: Crime fiction with a paranormal element. I love solving the whodunnit but keeping something mystically unresolved gets me every time. Think the Merrily Watkins series by Phil Rickman.
Molly MacRae: Clever, funny mysteries with satisfying endings – like The Librarians by Sherry Thomas and The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman.
Sarah E. Burr: I really love reading manga, especially the slice-of-life genre. The relationships are so sweet, and it’s just an enjoyable reading experience.
Kait Carson: The kind with words. I’ll read anything and often venture out of preferred genres of Mystery and Romance just for fun.
Debra H. Goldstein: I am an avid reader of cozy and traditional mysteries, but I also enjoy biographies and memoirs.
Elaine Douts: I love culinary mysteries for the food, of course, and mysteries that include pets.
Margaret Hamilton: When I’m deep in writing mode, non-fiction, essays, and poetry. Otherwise, traditional amateur sleuth mysteries and for long trips, the latest Daniel Silva thriller.
KMRockwood: Crime fiction. Who knows why?
Lori Roberts Herbst: I read most genres, so it’s impossible to choose. I can get lost in a humorous whodunit, a heart-stopping thriller, intense crime fiction, or nail-biting horror.
Grace Topping: Historical mysteries. I enjoy a mystery that transports me to a different time. I learn something new about that time period with each book.
Korina Moss: Crime fiction. Who knows why?
Shari Randall: Mysteries of course! Especially those that have a rich sense of place like Anne Cleeve’s Shetland books.
Mary Dutta: Mysteries! I love the challenge of a puzzle and the satisfaction of a resolution.
