I really liked the variety in authors discussed in this mystery gendre. I wish the web site provided a short synopsis of each book so I could remember which ones I wanted to buy after hearing the reviews.

Ms. Cannon is a rude, pompous, interrupting, and possessed of grating accent. Please don't invite her back.

What about Stewart (Stuart) Potvin (Potwin) who is not mentioned in this list but was talked about some and has 12 novels to his credit? I searched Indigo-Chapters, Amazon and TPL and found nothing on him.

I enjoy this series -- and the Mystery in Midwinter episode especially.
And, Margaret Cannon provides some of the best, most astute reviews.

what was the name of the William Blake poem quoted in this episode? It was beautiful.
