Interestingly, this was discussed at the GOLDEN AGE of DETECTION wiki earlier this year when Isaac was bearing down on Louisiana and the Gulf Coast. So here are a few oldie mysteries with hurricanes:
House of Storm - Mignon Eberhart
Murder on the Yacht - Rufus King
Murder at 28:10 - Newton Gayle
Murder on the Tropic - Todd Downing
Thanks, John, and I'm adding them to the list..
We could probably have a good session with these books because they seem to be by every type of mystery fiction author-cozy to medium boiled-to hard boiled.
Vallery, you're right.. might be a good session
Another few for your list
Dick Francis - Second wind
Max Marlow - Her name will be Faith
Bernie
I just finished another that not only has a hurricane in its storyline, but it takes place in mid-October.
A Spirited Gift - Joyce and Jim Lavene
Also add
John D. MacDonald, Condominium
Tony Dunbar, Shelter from the storm
If interested, my novel Prodigal Son features a hurricane, as well.
