I will read newer mysteries and sometimes find writers who I really enjoy, but percentage wise, I mostly go for Golden Age or even mysteries written in the 70s and 80s.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-77048648992476890322016-07-16T12:38:03.469-05:002016-07-16T12:38:03.469-05:00Interesting point about why you prefer classic mys...Interesting point about why you prefer classic mysteries and I must say that I'm the same way though I hadn't really thought about it like that. I definitely prefer plot over character when it comes to mystery and one thing that will lose me quick in a mystery is if there is too much focus on the detective's personal demons. I like a dark and gritty mystery from time to time but I don't want to know in detail about the demons the characters are facing. This doe sound good and like you Ryan is an author I've been wanting to read. This sounds like a good one to pick up but I don't think it's going to be replacing Agatha Christie anytime soon.Katherine Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12126062556416434416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-74410371034587901882016-07-15T20:52:56.827-05:002016-07-15T20:52:56.827-05:00I'm with you when it comes to mysteries - the ...I'm with you when it comes to mysteries - the plot comes first.
