Dear RAVALA group:
To perk up your Monday, there's a fantastic website for those of you who are mystery lovers (and it's extremely helpful for those who are not!). Please take a look at http://www.stopyourekillingme.com/ . This site is self described as : "A resource for lovers of mystery, crime, thriller, spy, and suspense books. We list over 2,600 authors, with chronological lists of their books (over 30,000 titles), both series (3,000+) and non-series. Use the alphabetical author and character links above or the special indexes in the left column. And it’s perfectly fine with us if you print our pages for your private use, especially for a trip to your local library or bookstore".
In addition to a "Read-Alikes" section, there is a "Job Index" so you can find main mystery protaganists by their occupations, a "Location Index" of a character's home country, and a "Historical Period of Characters Index". There are other great features as well, so please explore this one and let us know what you think! And - if you know of other truly helpful sites for mystery readers out there, please share with the RAVALA gang of many. We love to hear your ideas and comments - - please keep them coming!
Susan C.

That site is so good! I've used it several times, and always find what I'm looking for. Another mystery site is www.themysteryreader.com It gives reviews, author info, links to author's sites, etc. I haven't used it much, except for author info which is good.
Another good site is The Cozy Library. http://www.cozylibrary.com/default.asp?id=1 This is for mystery readers who like their mysteries on the lighter side. Many of these are series, for those who can't get enough of their favorite characters.
