Murder Mystery Book Authors Work Hard At Their Craft

By Celina Heath


Many people recognize the murder mystery book authors they like to read when looking for something to pass the time. Names like Tom Clancy, Edgar Allen Poe and Joseph Wambaugh are on the tip of their tongue. These writers, in many cases, wrote other things as well as the mystery, however, they will mostly be known for this type of story.

A discussion with many of these writers will not necessarily be illuminating as to how and why they do what they do. Some will mention a process and others will talk about motivations and other elements that go into their writings. Their sources of ideas may just be different than what you thought, at first. Most readers simply like the idea that they do come up with all of those marvelous ideas.

Just about every story starts with a hero that is flawed in some way. Why this has to be is something that escapes most peoples minds. This is also something that all writers will debate. It has something to do with, of course, the ability to rise above their own problems to find the answer to the questions brought up in the story line and catch the bad guy, or girl.

The bad guys or bad girls will also be some of the worst people imaginable. They will come from all walks of life and have a few traits that mirror or match each other. These people have to kill or want to kill or have been told to kill and, it seems, they all want to be caught.

There are quite a few of these authors that are in the top ten best mystery books lists. Some of them are Alice Sebold and her The Lovely Bones. Another one will be Sir Arthur Conan Dolye and his stories about Sherlock Holmes. There are also many others that line the bookshelves of many people who take great pride in their collections.

The vast majority of all mystery writers will have the following that other genres wish they had. Review websites will have a lot of comments on all of the latest, even to the point of surprising other people who have not read the book yet. Amazon has all of them and they literally fly off the shelves when most of them come up for sale.

There are many names associated with this genre. Some of them will be Agatha Christie, Barbara Vine, Umberto Eco, Margery Allingham and Fredrick Forsyth. This is an extremely short list with apologies to those not listed. They all have followers and have been quoted many times. Their stories have been told and retold many times even though many of the entire list is already dead.

Most of the books written by the murder mystery book authors that are loved and looked for are the ones that break out of the norm. They help people relax, get scared or calm themselves for other things in their own life. They really appreciate the cleverly constructed crime as well as the ways in which the hero settles the issue. These writers are the true heroes in any genre.
