Gold Coast by Nelson DeMille is FANTASTIC! Plum Island is also set on Long Island.

Compromising Positions by Susan Issaacs is set in a fictional town on the north shore. It's a really good mystery. Also be her novel Lily White is set on Long Island.

Of course, The Great Gatsby Chat Icon

Happy reading!

ETA: I didn't see that you prefer mysteries... this one isn't a mystery.

It's not fiction and it's not a mystery, but The Tender Bar was great!

All by Nelson DeMille:

The Gold Coast - Not a favorite of mine. It was alittle slow and the main character was really whiney and annoying.

Plum Island

Word of Honor

Night Fall

Wild Fire - some of it at least.

The Lion's Game - Again, some of it.
