I don't think they have fiction (too bad) but some very interesting special interest history books.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-31090629159558532922013-05-13T18:48:51.952+01:002013-05-13T18:48:51.952+01:00What fascinates me about the genre is the wide ran...What fascinates me about the genre is the wide range of styles that fit under the historical mystery umbrella - be they classic whodunit (Peter Tremayne), locked rooms (Paul Doherty), cozy (Victoria Thompson) or thriller (Ariana Franklin). My interests (as my blog shows very regularly) lies in the pre-Victorian era but I know that a lot of history-mystery buffs seem to draw a line there - just look at the nominees for any best historical mystery award, and the majority are Victorian or WWII novels - maybe these are the favoured genres with readers, but that doesn't mean they produce the best books. Certainly one list that I saw for a recent award clearly showed that the judges had not been near a small number of first rate historical mysteries published that year, given by the inclusion of one nominee.<br /><br />Mild rant over. Andrew Taylor is an author that I keep meaning to get round to, so thanks for the reminder, Martin.Puzzle Doctorhttp://classicmystery.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
