If you ask us, a warm sunny day is the perfect time to dig into a creepy mystery novel.  Why?  Life is really all about balance - both light and darkness - and according to Margaret Cannon, a member of our Mystery Book Panel, our systems just can't stand too much peace.

"When you're sitting there waiting for the loons to swim across the lake, what you want to be reading is a gritty noir with lots and lots of blood and death and gore."

Margaret Cannon, J.D. Singh, and P.K. Rangachari, the members of our trusty Mystery Book Panel, have returned with another stack of mystery novels you won't be able to put down.  Happy reading!

Nothing adds intrigue to a languid summer day like a juicy mystery novel. The Next Chapter's Mystery Book Panel is back with a stellar list of thrillers and whodunnits to entertain you through the summer.
