Mysteries and True Crime Books

Summer is a great time for reading mysteries.  If you are looking for some of the best, check out the winners of the Edgar Awards honouring the best in mystery fiction, nonfiction, and television published or produced in 2016.

See details about the nominees at http://reviews.libraryjournal.com/2017/01/in-the-bookroom/post/celebrating-mysterys-best-edgar-award-nominees-2017/ and the list of winners at http://www.theedgars.com/nominees.html.

I have read the winner in the Best Novel category, Before the Fall by Noah Hawley.  See my review at http://schatjesshelves.blogspot.ca/2016/07/review-of-before-fall-by-noah-hawley.html.
