 I love me some Lucas Davenport.  The "Prey" series by John Sanford are an all time fave.  How about you...what do you like to read?

 I like to read books by Sandra Brown.  They usually have a romance included with some kind of crime or mystery.  Very good.

I tried to read the Sanford books, but they are set here in Minneapolis and kind of close to my house and it freaked me out!!!

 Anything by Agatha Christie! I remember reading her books far into the night as a child... my mother would have to confiscate them so I could go to sleep!

OMG! I do the same thing...unfortunately my mom isn't around to take my book ;-)  I finally had to stop reading when I went to bed!!!  But I love doing that occasionally on the weekends

 I love the Amelia Peabody series and most of the Jill Churchill. I've read all the Diann Mott Davidson and who did the cookie series? Can't remember but I read, and ate, most of them too.

 Ok, I know they are not as hard core as the rest of the posted ones, but I love the Stephanie Plum books - (hey, they are a little mysterious)
