Last night at my
Mystery Book Group, we talked about mystery blogs. How do you find them? How do you remember them? What is special about them? And more. Some mystery blogs are filled with information and links and special features such as J. Kingston Pierce's
The Rap Sheet. Some are all reviews, some focus on special topics such as cozy mysteries, noir, thrillers, or food and mysteries, but the bottom line is everyone posts to share with the community. And, this year
Bouchercon has a new award:
Best Online Content: for a website/blog focused on mystery/crime fiction.
On Monday
Jungle Red Writers contributors posted their favorite Mystery Blogs. I was totally surprised to find
Mystery Fanfare there. Check out the favorites of
Jungle Red Writers Ingrid Thoft, Jenn McKinlay, Hank Phillippi Ryan, Deborah Crombie, Rhys Bowen, Hallie Ephron, Lucy Burdette, and Julia Spencer-Fleming. Thanks for including
Mystery Fanfare.

What are your favorite mystery blogs? Why?
There’s this one called Mystery Fanfare that I get in my email daily. Wouldn’t miss that one and then The Rap Sheet. Those are the only two I get regularly and then wander around to others when I have time.
