Brief bio: I grew up reading all the mysteries I could find and have continued to do so. I started with the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew and The Three Investigators but over the years I have also enjoyed the works of Earl Stanley Gardner, Brett Halliday and Agatha Christie among a host of others. The spooky manor house mysteries are my favorites. With all the storms and fog and strange sounds, they make for some great reading. I now have a very substantial collection of vintage mystery books with nice artwork covers. I am on the lookout at all times to increase my collection.
