CANADA DAY: Mystery Readers Journal: Canadian Mysteries

Happy Canada Day! Hope my friends up North are having a great day!

FYI: Mystery Readers Journal had an issue devoted to Canadian Mysteries (30:1), 
Spring 2014. This issue is still available for purchase as a PDF, but I've included links to two articles by Canadian mystery writer,s Vicki Delany and Louise Penny.

Buy this back issue! Available as a downloadable PDF.
