I have to back and see, Nancy; I read some stunning books, but not so many in the mystery/crime/thriller genre.
These are the 5-star reads that would fall into the mystery genre -1.
Smallbone Deceased by Michael Gilbert2.
Petrella at Q by Michael Gilbert3.
Beast In View by Margaret Millar4.

Naming one would be impossible! I recently finished Fast Track to Glory and really enjoyed it. It's marketed as a thriller, but to me it was more of a travel mystery and spiritual quest (without getting new agey) rolled into one. I highly recommend it!
