CULINARY CRIME: Mystery Readers Journal

I have a passion for both food and the written word. Mystery Readers Journal has had five issues devoted to Culinary Crime. Each issue of Mystery Readers Journal contains articles, reviews, news, and author essays. 90+ pages. We're now in our 40th year. Last issue: Murder Takes a Holiday. Other back issues are available

In the earlier Murder on the Menu issues, each contributing author who wrote an Author! Author! essay also included a recipe. Check out the Tables of Contents of these issues. Order your copies now.

Barbecue Mysteries

Hope you're having a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend. Did you know that 53% of Americans will be barbecuing this weekend? Will you?

I posted my updated Memorial Day Crime Fiction list yesterday, so I thought I'd update my Barbecue Mysteries list, too. So many ways one can murder someone at a barbecue, from the sauce to the skewers to the grill, not to mention the tiny wires on the barbecue brush (true crime!). Here's an updated short list of Barbecue Mysteries. Let me know if I've forgotten any titles!

The illustration on the right, a cover from a Donald Duck comic book, is a bit odd, don't you think? Had to post, though.
