Thanks for this list. I've not read many Thanksgiving mysteries, but I might begin doing that. Each Christmas I usually try to read three or four Christmas oriented mysteries. I appreciate lists which help me in my reading.
Hi, Janet. The anthology The Gift of Murder includes my story "The Worst Noel," which starts during Thanksgiving dinner (and ends on Christmas). The editor was John Floyd.
Hi,
Thanks so much for including Murder Takes the Cake. We also have a Thanksgiving story in our other series - The Brianna Sullivan Mysteries. Vol. 3 - The Holiday Spirit(s) of Lottawatah.

Thanks, Janet, for this wonderful list. My mystery book club always reads a Christmas mystery in December, but for some reason we've never done a Thanksgiving mystery in November. Now, we can choose one easily for next year.
You are such an asset to the mystery community.
Thanks, Malena, you're too kind...:-)
Hi, Janet--
Thank you for mentioning HARD TACK. I really appreciate it.
Barb,so glad it's on the list!
Love this idea! I'll save the list for future reference. Thanks for doing so much collecting and sharing!
