Murder Mystery Book Authors Keep Us On The Edge Of Our Seats

By Celina Heath


Edgar Allen Poe and Tom Clancy come to mind when people are thinking about what to read. They like the majority of the murder mystery book authors butt here is just something about their favorites ones. Another name will be Joseph Wambaugh and his particular tack on things. Many mystery writers will write other things but the ones they are known for are the murder ones that keep people on the edge of their seat.

If you asked any of them how they do what they do or even why, they will all give you different answers. Some will say it is what they know. Some will tell you about the process and still others will tell you they do not actually know. All of them have their own reasons and process and sources of ideas and all readers of this genre just love the idea they are out there, writing away.

Just about every story starts with a hero that is flawed in some way. Why this has to be is something that escapes most peoples minds. This is also something that all writers will debate. It has something to do with, of course, the ability to rise above their own problems to find the answer to the questions brought up in the story line and catch the bad guy, or girl.

The people who have been cast as the bad guys or the bad girls will also be something you would not like to meet in a dark alley. And, then again, some times they are better able to handle the day than the hero. They will come from all of the many walks of life and may or may not be evil looking.

There are quite a few of these authors that are in the top ten best mystery books lists. Some of them are Alice Sebold and her The Lovely Bones. Another one will be Sir Arthur Conan Dolye and his stories about Sherlock Holmes. There are also many others that line the bookshelves of many people who take great pride in their collections.

Many of these writers will have a following that is beyond belief. The readers will wait until the next book comes out and make tracks to the stores or Amazon to get it. The review websites, set up for this genre, will be full of all of the latest and there are many subscribers to these services. Even the main street media has reviews and this type of writing has its own section for all of the gory details.

Barbara Vine and Margery Allingham will be on the short list of mystery writers some will know and others will not. This extremely short excerpt of the very long list will also include Umberto Eco, Agatha Christie and Fredrick Forsyth. Their stories are excerpted on websites and in other writings. Some of the longer, more complete list, will already be dead, yet they still thrill and scare people all over the world.

The murder mystery book authors that live down through the ages are the ones that people love. These readers do appreciate the modern stories that now involve Internet searches and high tech chases and interesting plot twists never thought of before. Most readers are simply thrilled by the idea that a perfect murder has been planned, carried and, still, foiled by the quick thinking hero to save the day and, by the way, still get the girl, or guy.
