Mystery Maven Recommends

Submitted by Myra Wilson [1] on Wed, 09/05/2012 - 11:52am

This summer when I signed up for the Adult Summer Reading Program, I used Mystery Maven as my User ID. I chose this because nothing makes me happier than to recommend a book or series in the mystery genre to people. Last night found me at Houston's jewel of a bookstore, Murder by the Book for an author signing by Louise Penny. She writes a wonderfully complex yet lyrical series of mysteries featuring Chief Inspector Gamache of the Surete du Quebec. So please do yourself a favor and check out one of her eight award-winning books.

Still Life [2] A [3]Fatal Grace [3] [3] The Cruelest Month [4] A Rule Against Murder [5]

The [6] Brutal Telling [6] Bury Your Dead [7] A Trick of the Light [8] The Beautiful Mystery [9]
