Mystery, Detective, Crime, etc.

OK gang, help me out here. I would love to start reading individual mystery/detective/crime novels or even a series. Any good recommendations from the 20&#39;s - 40&#39;s? I&#39;m all ears or should I say eyes?  [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img]

The only ones I know of are the Agatha Chrisitie novels.

Thanks, Jenn

Adventure House is tops.  Pulp reproductions, only with better paper&#33;  Great service, too.  I ordered a book on a Saturday and received it the following Tuesday&#33;

I just got Roscoes In the Night, featuring selected (1934-42) stories of detective Dan Turner and cannot recommend it enough.

Thanks for the site.  I just ordered something as well.  Looks like they have some great discounts as well. 

Good to see you....I missed talking with everyone.

What&#39;d you order?  Spill&#33; [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

I&#39;m only beginning to scratch the pulp surface, and that site has forced me to siphon off even more of my hard-earned dough.
