  • Women Sleuths 20
    Women Sleuths Bibliography Edition 20 January 2020 Brown Deer Public Library 5600 W. Bradley Road Brown Deer, WI 53223 1 MMMysteryMystery Murder Investigation Detective Evidence ClueClue…… She may be a police officer, a private detective, an office worker, a professor, an attorney, a nun, or even a librarian, but the woman sleuth is always tenacious and self-reliant. She may occasionally use her physical strength or a weapon in the course of her crime solving; more often, though, she uses her intelligence, her expertise in a specific area, and her understanding of human nature to reach a solution. The Women Sleuths Bibliography was first compiled by Linda Paulaskas, former South Milwaukee Library Director, and Cathy Morris-Nelson, former Brown Deer Library Director. Kelley Hinton, Reference Librarian at the Brown Deer Library, continued to revise and update the bibliography through the 13th Edition. Since then, updates have been made by Brown Deer Library volunteer and mystery enthusiast Paula Reiter. This is not a comprehensive bibliography, but rather a compilation of current series, which feature a woman sleuth. Most of the titles in this bibliography can be found arranged alphabetically by author at the Brown Deer Public Library. ___ We have added lines in front of each title, so you might keep track of the books and authors you read. We have also included author website addresses and unique features found on the sites. This symbol indicates a series new to the twentieth edition. The cover photo was found on the Paumelia Flickr Creative Commons photostream. Thank you for sharing your photo! Kimura, Yumi.

  • When Words Collide/Traditional Mysteries Author List
    When Worlds Collide/Traditional Mysteries Author List/2013 August 9 When Words Collide/Traditional Mysteries Author List When Words Collide is a genre writing convention, held each August in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. For more information on next year’s convention, visit http://www.whenwordscollide.org/index.php. One of the panel at the 2013 convention was on what’s changing in the world of traditional mysteries (sometimes also called cozy mysteries). Here is a follow-up list of traditional/cozy mysteries for further reading. All authors are listed alphabetically by first name in each category. Author (protagonist) — short blurb The classics • Agatha Christie (Hercule Poirot; Miss Marple; Tommy and Tuppance) — there’s a reason the Malice Domestic awards are called The Agathas. She didn’t invent cozy mysteries, but she made them a mainstay in mystery reading. • Dorothy L. Sayers (Peter Whimsey; Harriet Vane) — not as completely in the traditional style as Dame Agatha, but very, very good. • Ngiao Marsh (Rodryck Alleyn; Agatha Troy) — I include her series even though Rodryck works for Scotland Yard; he’s another gentleman detective. My Personal Favorites • Andrew M. Greeley (Bishop Blackie Ryan) — Chicago priest solves murders • Donna Andrews (Meg Landsow) — A decorative blacksmith, as opposed to a farrier, tries to survive her wacky family while she solves murders. • Earlene Fowler (Bennie Harper, Gabriel Ortez) A young California ranch widow falls in love with, and marries, a Latino-Anglo chief of police. I also like her Mercy duo, which is set in the same place, but with different characters. • Kate Charles (Callie Anson) — A newly-ordained Anglical decon is pitted against a variety of people who still think women should not be ordained.

  • Selected Canadian Mysteries, by Author
    Selected Canadian Mysteries, by Author As recommended by Kathleen Fraser for Learning Unlimited, January 2019 Cathy Ace: Welsh-born Canadian author of the Cate Morgan and WISE Women cozies, fun series set in Wales. Grant Allen: Born in Kingston, Ontario, author of An African Millionaire: Episodes in the Life of the Illustrious Colonel Clay (1897). Colonel Clay was a scoundrel and adventurer – and Allen almost equally scandalous. Thought the first Canadian to seriously attempt crime writing professionally. Arthur Conan Doyle completed his last novel. Lou Allin: The Belle Palmer series in Northern Ontario; Holly Martin (RCMP) series on Vancouver Island. Toni Anderson: “Smart, sexy thrillers with happily ever after.” Haven’t read this, but it was recommended to me. Hubert Aquin: In Prochaine Episode / Next Episode (1965), the narrator, like Aquin himself, turns his adventures into a spy thriller while awaiting trial for an unnamed crime, locked up in the psychiatric ward of a Montreal prison. Kelley Armstrong: The Rockton thrillers, starting with City of the Lost, are probably Armstrong’s most conventional novels, in that they contain no demons or werewolves, but they are by no means ordinary. Rockton is a tiny town hidden in the Yukon, where people like ex-cop Casey Duncan go to escape their pasts. Enthralling. Carolyn Arnold: Author of four very different series, including Brandon Fisher FBI, set in the US. Catherine Astolfo: Series featuring Emily Taylor, small-town Ontario school principal. Margaret Atwood: Yes, most of her novels have a mystery at the core. Not that she always resolves the mystery, however. Take Alias Grace, for example.
