Why I'm a Habitual Reader:

I love mysteries and don't leave the house without a book in hand. I'm liable to become dangerously cranky if I have to twiddle my thumbs somewhere without something to read. Or something to write on.

My List of Ten: Humorous Mysteries or mysteries that made me think

1. Murder With Peacocks
Author: Donna Andrews
Made me laugh out loud in a business office

2. Red, White, and Blue Murder
Author: Bill Crider
Crider always makes me laugh out loud.

3. Murder Boogies with Elvis
Author: Anne George
I believe it's the last in the Anne George Southern Sisters series, and I adore her books.

4. Jingle's Christmas
Author: Randy Rawls
What could be better than a PI with an elf assistant at Christmas time?

5. We Have Always Lived In The Castle
Author: Shirley Jackson
I got so caught up in this book that I had to read it again to see if I missed any details. A book to savor.

6. All Mortal Flesh
Author: Julia Spencer-Fleming
The ending of the book came as such a shock. It will be a long time before a book grabs me like that one did.

7. Christmas Secret
Author: Ann Perry
I love Christmas books and this one kept me turning pages.

8. But Why Shoot the Magistrate
Author: Patricia Sprinkle
Her mysteries are humorous and revolve around a couple that has been married for decades and are still in love.

9. And Only To Deceive
Author: Tasha Alexander
First by this author, I also love historical mysteries and she does it well.

10. Murder On Peachtree Street
Author: Patricia Sprinkle
This other series by Sprinkle is what introduced me to her writing. She always keeps my attention, whether the books are serious or humorous.
