"What books do mystery writers turn to when they are looking for a great story? Whether it is a classic crime procedural or a futuristic thriller, mysteries are a perennially popular genre for all sorts of readers, who often devour series or their author's entire backlist with voracious speed. But what's a reader to do when they've gotten to the end of their mystery TBR? Naturally, it makes sense to see what their favorite authors themselves would recommend.
Authors pass on their book recommendations everywhere, from their personal Goodreads and social media accounts to interviews and book cover blurbs. Some authors might tend toward books that blend with their own writing style or some other aspect of their books, while others have more varied recommendation lists that branch into all kinds of mysterious plotlines. Some authors readily review and pass on nods for new releases, while others reach back to classics (The Talented Mr. Ripley is especially popular)."
