Carrying on the tradition of The Armchair Detective and many other mystery-themed magazines before it, Mystery Scene is a wonderful read for fans of the mystery genre who want to take a break from actual mystery novels and instead read up on the mystery publishing field and the authors who populate it. Each issue features in-depth interviews with both contemporary and classic mystery authors, looks at thematic topics associated with the mystery field (research methods, historical "true crimes", unearthing forgotten classics, etc.), numerous reviews of mystery fiction, and breaking news about literary awards and the world of mystery writing. This is a true treasure-trove of news and information for mystery fans! Published approximately 5 times per year, back issues of Mystery Scene Magazine are available for checkout from the Gere Branch Library. -- recommended by Scott C. - Bennett Martin Public Library/Reference
