Top 10 Mystery Authors

I know LT already has a feature to show the most popular books by title and author, but those lists represent the most common titles or authors, whereas the purpose of this group is to create lists of our favorites. Hopefully, the LT programming wizards will later find a way to mine the data and compile a single list for each category.

3. Charles Willeford
