Mysteries Ahoy!

One problem that has hit me recently is that my crime fiction collection has become unwieldy enough that I have forgotten some of the books I have waiting for me on my TBR pile. This has led to duplications and me missing out on a rare book I thought I already owned. The best solution I could come up with was a public list of books in and around the genre that I own but have not reviewed yet. A few titles I own but will never review (because they are by friends and family) are omitted.

Feel free to give me a shout if there’s a particular title here you would be interested in seeing me read and review.
