\"\"My last entry got me thinking about mystery books that can be considered “Classics.” Over the years, I have jotted down names of authors who might just be considered the great classic mystery book authors. Of course, as with all lists, I am sure\u00a0there are many other authors out there who should be on it >>> So, please send a comment if you think that I have missed a few Classic Mystery Book Authors<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If you’re anything like I am, you might consider authors of yesteryear to be more “classic” than our modern-day authors. But again, if you’re anything like I am, you will be able to readjust your thinking to include some pretty great authors who are writing today, who will definitely be classic mystery book authors<\/strong> of “yesteryear” to future mystery book readers!<\/p>\n
