The Talented Mr. Ripley

>>10006551

Read Poe's detective stories, including The Purloined Letter

>>10006551
Agatha Christie is the best. Really the best. Poirot, Marple, Ten Little Niggers, plays, films, everything is amazing. Only exception are her later years when she gets quite a bit senile, so just go by her publication date.

After you have enough of her; Maigret, Lupin, Name of the Rose, Maltese Falcon, Secret Agent, Sherlock Holmes...

George Pelecanos is pretty good, if you're into drinking beer and rock and roll.
