I've read a couple of her books, but didn't take a particular liking to it. But it goes without saying that she is one of the best mystery writers ever. :)Spaceman Spiffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05143505093943885418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008635650302032737.post-22485867053537640642011-08-01T02:22:16.407-07:002011-08-01T02:22:16.407-07:00i think females are more expressive when it comes ...i think females are more expressive when it comes to emotions in their writing which in NO way makes them inferior.its just that the writing styles are different.my favorite will be agatha cristie.wonder why she s missing from the listMadhav Mishrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05858567569471042261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008635650302032737.post-90606965875137639102011-06-15T22:59:56.787-07:002011-06-15T22:59:56.787-07:00@DawnZhang: Even I've heard a lot about the Br...@DawnZhang: Even I've heard a lot about the Bronte sisters, but haven't yet gotten around to reading them *bows head in shame*.<br /><br />And I'm reading a Famous Five now.

And yes, all the others there except for Jackie Collins for I haven't read her words yet. 'Emily Bronte' and 'Charlotte Bronte' deserve a place in that list there.
