Mystery/Crime Fiction

Mystery/Crime Fiction Feature Writer: Bonnye Good

Mystery novels and crime fiction are as old as Sherlock Holmes and as current as James Patterson.

There are the cozy novels-friendly, non-violent murder mysteries with easy-to-like protagonists; the classic detective stories in the spirit of A. Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, Dash Hammett and Ellery Queen; modern mysteries by authors like Janet Evanovich and Patricia Cornwell, and true crime such as those by John Stark Bellamy.

Join us for a romp through all of these genres; we'll review books, discuss writers, and revive a forgotten author or two. We may even start a reading club.
