About this title

Synopsis:

A guide to the mystery genre uses readers' tastes in subject matter, genre, movies, and TV shows to discover which mystery writers they will most enjoy

Review:

More like a chatty, knowledgeable, and opinionated friend than a fact-packed encyclopedia, Killer Books is the perfect place to start a newcomer to the genre on the road to addiction. If they like history, they can turn to a section called "Historical Mysteries" and find recommendations for dozens of authors--from Bruce Alexander's books about Sir John Fielding to Robert Van Gulik's Judge Dee series--as well as side trips to films (The Name of the Rose) and television shows (Sherlock Holmes Mysteries). Other sections on everything from "Suspense/Psychological" to "Amateur Sleuths" contain hundreds of similar links.
