Thanksgiving. I have a lot to give thanks for: my family, my friends, my health, and the wonderful mystery community. I'm having Thanksgiving at my home this year, and I must report that my family is as dysfunctional as most in the U.S., but we haven't stooped to murder! That can't be said for the families in the following list of Thanksgiving mysteries.
And, if you're cooking the turkey or baking the pies, be sure to check out Mystery Lovers' Kitchen for Thanksgiving recipes and cooking techniques from Mystery Writing Cooks Avery Aames, Julie Hyzy, Jenn McKinlay, Riley Adams, Cleo Coyle, & Krista Davis.

I never knew there were so many Thanksgiving-related mysteries. Thanks.
I'm sure I've left off a few.
Amazing, and I think I've only read 4 of them (Dobson, Maron, Kemelman, Haddam). I'll have to keep this list for next Thanksgiving.
Hi Janet,
My mystery, Safe House, is set at Thanksgiving.
Christine
Thanks, Christine, I've add it. Look forward to reading Safe House.
