I have run My Kind Of Mystery since 2014! It is the only group to cover every kind of book about mysteries; even biographies and tutorials! If you read any mystery material: this group is for you. I created it, in answer to excessive focus on the crime type. Many think of that as a synonym, rather than one branch. I love solving MYSTERIES, far better than solving crimes. When hosts devised bingo cards, or capped publishing dates; the books we could qualify narrowed more. Here is a place for all of them!
I don’t have time to break-up genres and groups with no prizes are pointless work. My criteria is to join and share, with optional festivities. I have been happy to contribute to the wonderful mystery community for six years!
Join me via the link in our logo! The identify of its originating novel is a riddle to solve. Contact me with guesses any time you would like to venture them. Please enjoy and return to see my reviews as I write them.
