Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Agatha Christie was considered the "Queen of Mystery," so you may want to read one of her stories like The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, Murder on the Orient Express, And Then There Were None, The ABC Murders, Nemesis or any others!. They are excellent!.

If you want a more difficult one, you may want to read The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco!. It's considered an intellectual mystery and is set in Medieval times!.

The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is my favorite Sherlock Holmes mystery!. You may be interested in reading that one!. The Sherlock Holmes stories are really good; classic, in fact!.

Dorothy L!. Sayers' Lord Peter Wimsey stories are also great!. The first is called Whose Body!?

The Inspector Rodderick Alleyn mysteries by Ngaio Marsh are very good, too!. The first is called A Man Lay Dead!.

The Brother Cadfael mysteries, also set in Medieval times, by Ellis Peters are also excellent!. The first is called A Morbid Taste for Bones!.

Whichever you choose, I hope you enjoy it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you want a challenge and want to impress your teacher do House of Leaves by William Danielwski!. Its very symbolic, and lots of book report material!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

anything by Norah Mcklintock
Last Chance was a good one!.
