for being one of the most successful mystery writers, but I don't read his novels quite often. I read one or two his books every another year, because I like his smooth flow writing. I can read his novels fast, say 300 words per minute. However, usually the more and faster I read his, the more and faster I forget about the reading. Most times, I forget about what I read from his novel three days after finishing the reading. So why bother to read his novels again. LOL.
