M is for mystery

My mother read(s) mysteries, so I grew up in a house surrounded by Agatha Christie, Dorothy Sayers, Ngaio Marsh and others. We also watched a lot of Murder She Wrote and Columbo.

And while typing the above paragraph, I was also googling Tracy Grant, since someone on LJ recommended Daughter of the Game years ago and I adored it, and subsequently loved Beneath a Silent Moon. And what should I discover but a third Fraser book on ebook, and her Teresa Grant series. So I stopped typing, jumped in the car, and rushed to B&N to buy the latter fifteen minutes before they closed, and have now downloaded the former*. So, yay!

If I could make a niche for myself writing fantasy mysteries and spy thrillers, I would be a happy mammal indeed. I could get a lot of mileage out of dangerous women in fabulous hats that way. (I'm writing one now. Shh.)

I don't have a clever mystery tag. I should think of one.
