Looking for a new mystery series to read? Tired of reading about cat-owning private investigators or cooks who moonlight as sleuths? Maybe you’re looking for a mystery solved by the straight half-owner of a gay bar in Boston, or a blind redneck sculptor from Santa Fe (I’m not making this up). Stop, You’re Killing Me! lists mystery series by the characters’ professions, locations, culture, and plain ol’ alphabetical order. This information puts to rest any ambitions I had of writing the first mystery series featuring a female viola player who solves a murder during a Gilbert & Sullivan production (here’s the book). Oh well. I can always fall back on the college a cappella group that solves petty crimes while on tour at other schools.
