I like the Lord Peter mysteries by Dorothy Sayers very much.

And I just lurve this Mystery!

I love it. Books, movies, actual life. There’s a house here in Viliska, Iowa where a family was murdered with an axe back in the 1900’s. You can go through the house & even stay overnight. Oooh, how I’d love to do that! One of my daughter’s friends stayed in the house one night. He has a picture of himself in the house holding an axe. Woo-hoo!

I love mystery stories (Kay Scarpetta); movie mysteries; mysteries of the oceans; UFO’s; outer space; where my glasses are. You name it I love a good mystery.

Sometimes, I don’t think I would have but growing up I had a sort of pseudo-grandfather friend of the family – Charles L. Fontenay and I have very fond memories of being given his latest novels covered in his coffee stains and smelling like pipe smoke. He wrote young adult sci-fi murder mysteries (The Kipton and Gruff series WHICH IS AMAZING) And I fell in love with them, to the point that now one of my nicknames is Kipton. :D

Without those books, I don’t think I would have appreciated the genre, or even really given it a second thought.

If anyone has a little girl who likes to read, grab those books.

I just started getting into the X Files. I bought season 1 and am on disc 3 of 6. It is fantastic!!

I also love Agatha Christie novels, particularly her Hercule Poirot books. I just finished Murder On The Orient Express and loved it. The use of Poirot’s mind is amazing.

Love mystery. One of my favorite movies is Murder By Death (even though it is a comedy). X Files was a favorite tv show of mine, as well as Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

OMG, Murder by Death is great. I’ve seen it 100 times, too. I never get tired of watching it.

I love mysteries – books, movies and real life, too. I also love to be scared as long as it’s not real life! (haunted houses, horror books and movies, etc.)

I am fascinated with the unknown, mythology and secret societies. I don’t read much, but I do like the stories where the anticipation doesn’t stop until the end. And, I enjoy films such as The Usual Suspects which you could call a “mystery”. Not a big fan of blind dates, but I do like a good costume party.

Thank you all…. was discussing with a friend last night about the named subject and i stated that everyone likes mystery in some form or other…he disagreed but i think if the opinions expressed above are indicative of the majority…i’ll settle for majority as maybe “everyone” is pushing it a little bit.

Just jumped to the question, but I wanted to say that I love the Mystery series on PBS, mostly because of the fabulous introduction with the Edward Gorey illustration.

@TitsMcGhee I agree. Those are good.
