Thanksgiving is next week, so you'll want to get reading several of these Thanksgiving crime novel and short stories. I've updated my Thanksgiving Crime Fiction list, but let me know if I've missed any titles. It's quite the mix of cozy, noir, and whodunit.
As Thanksgiving approaches, I give thanks for my family, my friends, and the wonderful
mystery community.
I'm posting daily recipes for Chocolate Thanksgiving desserts, sides, and main courses (Chocolate Turkey Rub!) on DyingforChocolate.com.
