Hi, Cindy,
Thanks for the Caleb Carr recommendations--they really sound great! Isn't
it strange that they called the early psychologists alienists? I wonder if
it was because their ideas and techniques were new and people thought they
were ""way out"? Smile. I like books that are well-written. As for the
Braun books, I couldn't get into them either, and after reading a few of the
Grafton books I lost interest.
I just finished a long book, Answer As a Man, by Taylor Caldwell, and am now
reading My Enemy the Queen, by Victoria Holt, so you can see that I enjoy a
variety of authors.
Sue

Hi, Sue,
I'm not "into" mysteries as much as other people -- I
haven't yet read the Sue Grafton books, though I plan
to try one, seeing as they're so popular; and I did
read one of the Braun Cat books -- I think the first
one, but it didn't capture my interest.
But my daughter recommended two that I read,
thoroughly enjoyed, and heartily recommend if you
haven't already read them: by Caleb Carr, The
Alienist first, and then Angel of Darkness. Alienist
is wha early psychologists were called, and here
psychology and early forensics are used to catch a
serial killer in 19th-century New York City. These
books could be called historical crime novels, i
suppose. They're very well-written and very readable.
He's written a third that is set in the future that
has been recommended to me but I haven't read it yet.
Something with Time in the title, I think.
Cindy
