Mysteries reviewed in 2017: 12/16/17

Mysteries have always been a staple of my reading. I know my focus is primarily children's and YA, with the emphasis being on middle grade books, but the mysteries receive regular attention too. Mysteries are my go-to genre for escapist reading.

At the end of February, I was invited to join the My Kind of Mystery Challenge. Joining the challenge gave me the chance to focus my mystery reviewing into a regular, weekly feature. Wednesdays are now my day to post a mystery review. I have reviews planned all the way to the start of May, including some newly published books: The Case for Jaimie, Cave of Bones, and, Bad Neighbors
