Our blog is a helpful reading companion for lovers of mystery and suspense. We are constantly enraptured by mystifying fictional tales of murder and crime. We spend time watching movies and shows that feature tantalizing mysteries solved by clever, honorable and humorous detectives.

Reading mysteries satisfies a desire for justice. Favorite stories include a bit of ambiguity about the criminal. What if it’s a crime of passion or a crime committed to satisfy a moral imperative for the criminal?

In this blog, we point toward books and authors that inject such enigmatic considerations into their novels.

The editor in chief, Gary Alan Ruse, is a published author of mystery novels and stories. He specializes in modern additions to the Sherlock Holmes universe. His articles for this blog draw on this experience and take the slush from the diamonds to show you the shine.

The assistant editor, Helen Lemus, is also a published writer offering journalistic pieces and reviews of books and films. Reviews are limited to books and films that do not show excessive gore or obscene situations.

We made this blog to share trustworthy information about mystery authors and their work. Please subscribe.
