Today I'm linking up with Top Ten Tuesday hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl which is all about lists. Since lists are one of my favorite things this is one of my favorite linkups! Today's topic is Ten Authors I Wish Were Still Writing.
1. Agatha Christie - This feels mandatory. Specifically, 1940s/50s Agatha Christie where she was really playing with different concepts and her mysteries were so beautifully detailed.
2. Barbara Michaels - I love her Gothic-y mysteries and her stories. I just wish there were more.
3. Dorothy Gilman - I have one more Mrs. Pollifax book to read before I have finished the series and that makes me very sad.
4. Patricia Wentworth - I'm almost out of new to me books by her and have read all the Miss Silver books and I really want more.
5. Victoria Thompson - I love her Gaslight Mystery series and have really loved how she grew her characters and the world they live in. I was so saddened to hear of her death though I am glad I have a few books in the backlist left to read.
6. Mary Roberts Rinehart - I love her classic mysteries with a Noir-ish twist. I still have a few to read but am not in a rush because I don't want to be finished.
7. Maeve Binchy - She has written two of my very favorite found family books and this is another author where I'm so glad I have books left to read.
8. Lisa Kleypas* - This has an asterisk because she has a new book up on NetGalley which I am very excited about but I have missed her!
9. Kate Morton - I'm pretty sure she's still writing but I need her to write faster! I only have one book left of hers to read and haven't heard of any release date for a new book.
10. Brynn Bonner - Her genealogy cozy mysteries are some of my absolute favorite and there are only 4 books. I've tried to find other books she's written but with no luck. I would love more books in this series.
Which authors do you wish were still writing - or which authors do you need to write faster?
