If you're celebrating
Memorial Day this weekend, you'll want to read one or all these special
Crime Novels set during the holiday.
Memorial Day in the U.S. is part of a three day holiday weekend. Many think of this weekend as the beginning of Summer, a time for Barbecues (
Barbecue Mysteries), the Beach, the Cabin, and
S'mores, but the true meaning of
Memorial Day aka Decoration Day is a day of remembrance of those who fell to protect us, of those who didn't come home.
Many people go to cemeteries and memorials on the last Monday in May. There is a tradition to fly the flag at half mast and wear poppies, although since that's a WWI observance, not sure if it still happens.
So here's the list. Let me know if I've forgotten any titles. You may also want to check out my
Veterans Day Mystery List.
