Alphabet in Crime Fiction

I mentioned in an earlier post that I hoped Kerrie at Mysteries in Paradise would be running the Alphabet in Crime Fiction – a Community Meme/Challenge again. I really enjoyed taking part in it this year, not only reading and writing the books, but also reading the other participants’ posts. I found so many authors and blogs that were new to me.

And she has set it up again for  2011!

Here are the rules:

Each week, beginning Monday 10 January 2011, you have to write a blog post about crime fiction related to the letter of the week.
Your post MUST be related to either the first letter of a book’s title, the first letter of an author’s first name, or the first letter of the author’s surname.

So you see you have lots of choice.
You could write a review, or a bio of an author, so long as it fits the rules somehow.

There is as Kerrie says lots of choice but the real challenge for me is writing a post every week and in some cases finding a title, or author for some of the letters – X, Q, and Z were  hard and I seem to remember that N was quite difficult and J too.  I was particularly pleased to have found Dave Zeltserman’s books and I’ll be looking for more by him to fill the Z spot.

I’m looking forward to it immensely.

  1. I loved reading A to Z posts this year and I am very tempted to join in this time around. Hopefully Euro Crime will help with some of the difficult letters!

    If you’re loking for Js again I can definitely recommend Mari Jungstedt – I think you’d like her.
