I collect mystery reference books, and I imagine many of you reading this column do as well. So I was thrilled to see J. Kingston Pierce's article in Kirkus yesterday: Just the Facts, Ma'am: Referencing Books Worth Preserving. Nice to note that I have all the books he mentions!
He only missed "Murderess Ink" which was a good followup, but otherwise it's a great list.
Years ago, I reviewed "Detecting Women" which covered series books written by women. Now, of course, it's tremendously outdated and with the Internet, not necessarily needed. But it's great to have all that info in one place. It was a great book to browse through.
Thanks for the link, Janet!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
