Genre Link of Note: Stop, You're Killing Me!
It's amazing how many different ways you can slice something, right? These mysteries are indexed on this site a bazillion different ways, presumably so that you can find precisely what you are looking for, although there is no cross-indexing or tagging system that might make it easier to find a book that is both a cozy mystery and set in Jamaica. You can search by location, by job of the main character, by time period, by diversity, by sub-genre, by authr name, by character name, etc...many many. This is definitely a site for the listmakers out there. I only wish that this were a little more like All About Romance with reviews for each book listed, although that takes a lot of maintenance.
As usual with these popular genres, like sci-fi and romance, mystery is based largely on book series it seems. I was surprised few subgenres were listed, considering all the genre bending that goes on nowadays. I'd probably reference this site for good read alikes and for complete series list order, but I'd use a more powerful database like Novelist or even Goodreads for title/author discovery.
