“A good mystery does more than entertain. It brings into sharp focus the conflicts that riddle our world and how they are dealt with by people just like you or I.
Authors such as John le Carre, Arnaldur Indridason and Maureen Jennings, to name just a few, provide readers with top-notch writing in this genre. It’s not just the suspense, the clues, the stakes or a carefully prepared atmosphere. It’s mostly the finely drawn, nuanced characters that keep one rivetted.”
