Murder mysteries, books etc...

[185248]

It seems to me that women enjoy reading murder mystery novels more than men. Perhaps I'm wrong, but many women I know, including my partner and sisters enjoy these kind of novels. Many of the guys I know enjoy the adventure, sci-fi or action novels, only a couple enjoy the murder mystery.

I have asked the question to them and the response usually it is the process of investigation..following the clues etc. I'm just not into the murder thing myself.

I myself prefer Patricia Cornwell. Her Scarpetta series is excellent!

I mostly read fantasy and sci-fi books, as does my mum. Murder mysteries are only really for when we've run out of stuff to read!

Oh, I read that book too!! I enjoyed it! Still haven't figured out quite what all the hype was about, but it was definitely enjoyable.

I enjoyed the movies as well. The European ones with sub......titles and all.

I haven't seen the original movies. Saw the new version though and it was brilliant.

We got the dvd out. Do not think it (perveyd <?) the same thing though.

I like the crime or legal novels.. or stuff about serial killers fascinates me

not much into romance or chick type books

Guess the hype was due to the author's death just before the first book was published. I found both the books and the original movies okay - but nothing extraordinary. There's a fourth book in the series which he didn't finish completely - I think it will be published later this year (it's being finished by someone else :wink

I like non fiction and memoirs. I'm not into mystery or sci fi or romance (or anything supposedly "girly") I did have a brief period of time that I was interested in true crime written by women but that falls under the category of non fiction. I hate those 48 Hours shows about crime and Law and Order and that kind of thing.

Actually, the american version did a good job of telling the same story essentially, just in a slightly different light.

I saw the Swedish one first (not strange me living in Sweden and all ) and really liked it. Then i read the book but in english. (I never read books in swedish if i can help it...) After all that i saw the american version. I prefered the latter in tone and overall impression (cinematography and such) but I really liked the original as well (one of only about 3 swedish movies i actually like). It was more raw somehow, it felt a bit more real less censored... just a different feel.


To answer the OP. I'm not a fan of murder mysteries. I'm strictly a reader of horror/vampire/supernatural fiction. (not Twilight though, bleh......)

 

[HiddenLacey]

I don't care for murder mystery books though I've read a few when I can't find anything else to read... which is rare.

I like Sci-Fi, Romance, True Crime, Erotica, Educational (animals, foodie, gardening, health and fitness) books.

For leisure reading, I'm all about the Dystopian and Sci-Fi genres. Otherwise, I really enjoy straightforward texts covering philosophy, sociology, or economics.

I admit I love murder mysteries. I love Kathy Reich's Temperance Brennan series, I love Cornwell's Scarpetta and Andy Brazil series, I love Tess Gerritsen's Rizzoli and Isles series, I ABSOLUTELY loved the millenium series by Stieg Larsson (goshdangit, those people sure love the shit out of some sandwiches).

I'm reading The Bone Garden by Tess Gerritsen right now.
