Noir mystery, cozy mystery, traditional mystery, mysterious mystery, mystery and more mystery.......











APRIL 19TH. 4:00 PM
Mystery abounds as we host four specialists of the genre.....

Christa Faust will be featuring her latest novel, Money Shot. It all began with the phone call asking former porn star Angel Dare to do one more movie. Before she knew it, she’d been shot and left for dead in the trunk of a car. But Angel is a survivor. And that means she’ll get to the bottom of what’s been done to her even if she has to leave a trail of bodies along the way...
"Christa Faust’s Money Shot has to be an early contender for mystery debut of the year...Money Shot has no peer in hardboiled writing about the sex industry." - The Bloomberg News


Sue Ann Jaffarian has just released the third novel in her Odelia Grey mystery series, Thugs and Kisses. Odelia Grey is the middle-aged, plus-size, humorous amateur sleuth of the series. A woman ready to show the world that you don't have to be thin and young to be happy and complete.
"I'd like to spend more time with Sue Ann Jaffarian's Odelia, a plus-size fat-liberationist with a handsome wheelchair-bound lover. Odelia, a paralegal from Costa Mesa, Calif., is as infectiously optimistic, despite frequent humiliation, as Alexander McCall Smith's dear Precious Ramotswe is serene. And like Miss Zukas and Agatha, she does not hesitate to give justice a small, well-plotted forward shove at every opportunity. " — The New York Times

Kathryn Lilley presents Dying To Be Thin, the first installment in her Fat City Mysteries series. It’s a story about dieting, sex and murder set in a residential diet clinic (read: “fat farm”). In this clinic, the only things more dangerous than the food are the fondue forks…

Casting safety aside and with only her pluck, wit and determination to fall back on, Vicky must decide just how far she is prepared to go to clinch the story of a lifetime.
