The A-Z Mystery Challenge was run at Red Headed Book Child for the calendar year of 2014.
I began my record page on 3 March and completed the final book on 17 Dec.
Mostly it was not hard to find books for the challenge but I have had to make conscious efforts in the last few weeks to locate titles for authors whose surnames begin with E, Y and X.
It is really is a bit of a variant of the Crime Fiction Alphabet challenge that I have run for the last few years.
The rules
- A-Z represents the LAST name of the author in the mystery, thriller, suspense, cozy, noir, etc. genre.
- Read as many or as little as you want.
- Post your links here for your Challenge post and your reviews!
- Challenge Runs January 1, 2014 - December 31, 2014
