Calling all mystery enthusiasts.
There’s something about a really good mystery that keeps you reading — or listening — to the very end.
This month, the Book Club has been reading two crime fiction novels by local author and journalist Hank Phillippi Ryan. The first, “Her Perfect Life,” Ryan’s 13th novel, came out earlier this month. This month we’ve also been reading Ryan’s 12th novel, “The First to Lie,” which came out in paperback in January.
For those reading along, we know that there are likely other stories in the same genre that are capturing your attention. These days true crime and crime fiction enthusiasts get their fix not just from books, but also from podcasts, which have a way of immersing you into all the twists and turns of a thrilling mystery.
Maybe you were part of the wave of true crime podcasts enthusiasts listening to hits like “Serial” or “My Favorite Murder.” Or you like to keep your mystery stories in the realm of fiction. Either way, we want to know what podcasts you gravitate toward when you’re looking to get lost in a good story.
Let us know your favorite podcasts that fall under the categories of true crime, crime fiction, mystery, and thriller by filling out the survey below or e-mailing us at [email protected] and we may feature your responses in a future article.
