Mystery Readers Journal: Small Town Cops I (Volume 32:3)

Mystery Readers Journal: Small Town Cops I (Volume 32:3) is now available as a PDF and hard copy. Because we had so many terrific essays, articles, and reviews, we had to divide this theme into two issues. So, contributors, if you don't see your article or review in this issue, it will be in Small Town Cops II (Volume 32:4) that will be out in Winter 2016-2017. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this making this issue such a success.

This issue is available with subscription or can be purchased individually --as Hardcopy. Go here and scroll down or as a PDF.
