The My Kind of Mystery challenge is being hosted by Riedel Fascination, who explains her idea:
Mystery needs no murder! Hidden passageways, ancient places, eerie phenomenon€¦ €œDan Brown€ meets Nancy Atherton! Gothic greats of the 1960s-1980s, modern releases. I am launching a reading challenge that welcomes the lot: tutorials, mystery author biographies, fiction€¦ Any form of mystery and its authors fit my all-encompassing theme.
It runs from February 1st, 2014 €“ February 28th, 2015!
The categories are:
Any format.
Any demographic
Non-adult must be published by 1990 or earlier.
Limitless length.
A short story, compilations; bring them to the table!
Reviews wanted.
A link to Goodreads, Book Depository€¦ just to show you finished. One line is fine.

You are rising to the highest level? Great! This was a secret portral at the main “My Kind Of Mystery” page: hidden under the original levels and also under a question mark below that, with a message about finding it. Christine in Australia did discover it! Most I’m sure wouldn’t return to the main page after signing-up but it was my way of leaving a special bit of fun there because this is a mystery theme. Merry Christmas, Margaret! Carolyn.
