Agatha Christie
Following Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes mysteries, Agatha Christie was the first "grown-up" mystery I read as a kid.
Although I read most the books I could get my hands on, my favorites were always the Miss Marple mysteries.
Miss Marple: The Murder at the Vicarage, The Body in the Library (1942), The Moving Finger (1943), A Murder is Announced (1950), Murder with Mirrors (1952), A Pocketful of Rye (1953), 4:50 from Paddington, The Mirror Crack'd (1962), A Caribbean Mystery (1964), At Bertram's Hotel (1965), Nemesis (1971), Sleeping Murder (1976)
