    Oooh, this sounds great, Susan! Happy Blogiversary, and please include me in the drawing.

    I love mysteries more than suspense--I don't like the stress! I'm reading Bonnie Calhoun's Cooking the Books right now, and it's a hilarious, well-written mystery.

    I'll admit I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to suspense. I love a good plot, but if it's too suspenseful, I've learned to read it only during the day. :)

    Hi Sarah -

    I love suspense, but often put it down when it gets too frightening. When my heart returns to a normal rate, I go back for more. :)

    I love suspense!! Unfortunately I tend to get so wrapped up reading for what comes next, I am useless for anything else! Just as my husband ;D

    Would love to read it!
    See you soon dear friend.

    Mystery or suspense? Is there a big difference? I never gave that a thought :) Well, you made me think today, thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Susan J. ReinhardtMay 8, 2012 at 9:12 PM

    Hi Marja -

    Yes, there's a difference. Mysteries are mostly the whodunit variety. Suspense keeps the adrenaline flowing until its almost unbearable.

    Anyone have a different definition?

    Blessings,
    Susan :)

    I love a good mystery with some suspense. No thrillers here though, I need to sleep! :O)

    Hi Diane -

    I'll occasionally read a thriller, but prefer mystery/suspense.

    Hi, Susan:

    I'm throwing my hat in the ring for this book. As to mysteries versus suspense, I tend to prefer the former. Suspense can make me anxious, but it provides all the more reason to snuggle up to my hubby after I'm done reading. :-)

    Blessings.

    I much prefer suspense to mystery/who dun it. I love that delicious tingling can't-put-it-down feeling when the author has really grabbed me with the characters and the fascinating circumstances.

    Hello, Susan! Thanks for stopping by my blog today and following me.

    Hmm... I like mysteries because you are engaged in collecting clues and putting all the pieces together and then left wondering if your conclusion is correct - it makes for a good read!

    Hi Gabrielle - Thanks for becoming a Follower. Playing amateur sleuth is a fun part of reading whodunits.

    Hi Alisa - I'll have to check out his website. I'm familiar with his work from the Left Behind series.
