"Something's Afoot at the Circle K!"

A couple of days ago, I finished a book called Alone at Night by K. J. Erickson. My interest in mysteries has been renewed these past few months, starting with the Jane Jeffry series by Jill Churchill. I prefer Churchill's Grace & Favor series, however. They're a bit meatier read. Tell No One by Harlan Coben is also an excellent mystery/suspense novel. Kept me on the edge of my seat, for sure. I am now near the end of Third Person Singular, another book by K. J. Erickson. I really enjoy Erickson's novels. I do wish to warn you, however, that Alone at Night does involve a disturbing war crime, though not much time is spent on it. I've heard Erickson's books described as police procedurals. I really don't know that much about different types of mystery and suspense novels, though I would like to learn more.

Here are some interesting links about the mystery genre:
