Good list. I highly recommend the Cormoran Strike series by J. K. Rowling (writing as Robert Galbraith), starting with 'The Cuckoo's Calling'.

[Mindfulness]

I love Sherlock Holmes, read all of them, loved the Da Vinci code, liked the Alienist, looking at the stack on your desk, love Sue Grafton, read all of them.

[farhad_s]

Alienist was excellent, and the sequel, Angel of Darkness, was just as good. Really wish there were more Kreisler novels. Nothing beats Sherlock Holmes, of course. And of course Agatha Christie's Poirot and Miss Marple books. I'm probably one of the few people who enjoyed Angels and Demons more! I'd recommend some Japanese mysteries as well, like Tokyo Zodiac Murders, Murder in the Crooked House, and Devotion of Suspect X.

Can't argue with any of those choices. Try Smilla's Sense of Snow by Peter Hoeg sometime -- I always feel it had to be an inspiration for the Lisbeth Salander books.

Hope you can read more and do more mystery recommendations

[kardelenckc]

You should check out
Jo Nesbø if you haven't already. His Harry Hole series is very good. Another stand alone incredible detective story is The Chestnut Man by Søren Sveistrup. Scandinavian mystery authors are killing it!

[tomswift]

If you've not read them, try Peter Straub's Blue Rose trilogy - nothing quite like them. Koko, Mystery, and The Throat.
Koko is a bit slow, but persistence does reward and sets the stage for the final 2. Great reads all.

[KevinsKontentKorner]

Did you ever hear of The Twenty-Year Death? It's from Hardcase Crime, and it features a novel with three short novels that connect over twenty years, and each of the three is written in the style of a famous crime writer (Jim Thompson, Georges Simeon, Raymond Chandler)

[treebranch]

If you liked Davinci Code then def read Angels and Demons. Thought that one was even better.

[jdsantibanez]

I really hate Dan Brown novels. He writes the same book over and over again. I read Angels and Demons first. And then I began reading the Da Vinci Code only to find out I was reading the same plot again

[MementoMori]

One of the best lines from The Killing Floor: “Attacking me was like pushing open a forbidden door. What waited on the other side was his problem.” Hahaha!

[jdsantibanez]

For Mystery/Noir there is Lawrence Block, Dennis Lehane, Robert B. Parker.

[KevinsKontentKorner]

How do you feel the movie of the da Vinci code compares to the book?

[kclark]

Good list, Angels and Demons is better though!

[professordavid]

So this guy’s final favorite book is “The DaVinci Code”…look in the background under the “subscribe” pillow.

[thereisonlycis]

Can we stop just saying Sherlock Holmes is a cocaine addict? People seem to think it's neat to spread this lie like he's getting high in every story. Sherlock Holmes is an adrenaline junkie and likely a savant who gets so much of a thrill out of his cases that he fall into depression when he hasn't had a thrilling case in awhile. He used cocaine because it's the only thing that matched the thrill of the hunt. You can count all the times he actually uses cocaine in the stories on one hand. That's out of 65 short stories and 4 short novels.
