I have read some the books, there are some really good ones on the list. I would highly recommend the Agatha Christie novels. I love And Then There Were None. It is a great mystery. Also, Witness for the Prosecution by Christie as well. She is such a great writer. I am always trying to figure out the mystery as I read but with her I can never figure it out. I'm happy to see Mary Higgins Clark on the list as well. I really like her books too.
I personally am a Wilkie Collins fan. I highly recommend The Woman in White. A great gothic romance/mystery set in the 1860's I think.
