Then moved onto Nancy Drew and finally Encyclopedia Brown. I hope to pass on the mystery tradition to my daughter :)




I went back recently and re-read an early Hardy Boys book...What did I find so good about them?

My first mystery was RUMI poems as Iranian 13th century great poets.

I read every single book in her series, but that was the first.
Loved that series, when I was a kid.




And of course Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys...

I'm impressed with you guys that started with people like Holmes.



First adult mystery was Ross Macdonald's "Moving Target" after I saw the movie "Harper" with Paul Newman. I was hooked.





It might have been a Judy Bolton book of my mother's (probably either The Vanishing Shadow or The Invisible Chimes), an Encyclopedia Brown story, or a Nancy Drew.
Or E.L. Konigsburg's The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, which is also kinda a mystery. I loved that one.




Peace!
