Recently, I found several sites for Detective Fiction and Suspense books. There are a lot of great books written for Suspense and Detective Fiction readers. If you are an avid reader of Detective Fiction and Suspense stories and books, then you need to take a look at the following sites. I have found these sites to be an excellent source of Suspense and Detective Ficiton books. "Joe's Detective Pages, "which is at http:// www.lofgreen.com/detect.htm, lists his top ten favorites. They are "A Dance at the Slaughterhouse" by Lawrence Block, "Called by a Panther" by Michael Z.
