Marwan’s comments from the Reading the Detectives group.

I couldn't agree more about Tom Ripley, I only read the first one though " The Talented Mr. Ripley" and it was amazing, one of the best books I read in 2015.

I started with this one, so I can't tell you much, I finished half of this book and it looks promising, I bought it because it's part of the "Crime Classics" series that has been Published by Arcturus Publishing. I've read three from the series and I loved them all.

Currently reading All the Lonely People: A Harry Devlin Mystery by Martin Edwards

If anyone's interested, I've made a list of these Novels and rearranged them alphabetically. It's a mix of the British and American list. I always take it with me whenever I go to a bookstore or book fair.

Note: I haven't added Agatha Christie's books because I've read them all. The laughing policeman by Maj Sjöwall and Sherlock Holmes novels are also not included, other than that it's complete.

I know about this list, I've been searching for these novels and I obtained only 14 of them. read 6 only.

Mystery Writers of America has published a similar list
