Hi folks!

Since I have a little time, how about another look at what Goodreads recommends for me? This time the suggestions are based on what I've marked down for my mystery shelf. Now, not everything on that shelf is a mystery, strictly speaking. There's some thrillers, borderline horror, true crime, that sort of thing as well.

If you've read any of these books, or heard some buzz, feel free to comment and tell me about it.
