#MSWL-- A main character obsessed with True Crime + a mystery. Preferably in YA?

In Mystery, Tana French is my favorite. I’d love mysteries with writing elevated to her level, but really I’m looking for ANYTHING in mystery. From procedurals to regular old mysteries, psychological thrillers. Suspense like Susan Furlong!(Excluding spy books, please). #MSWL

In YA, I’m mainly looking for contemporary or mystery (more tk) stories. Books like Crow Flight or Abigail Johnson’s books. I worked on and love Laura Taylor Jamey’s THE LIBRARY OF LOST THINGS. pic.twitter.com/6xusQ24OjmI also love speculative elements that run the gamut from DRY to STRANGER THINGS. Ultimately, I like stories grounded in our reality, no matter a spec element. #MSWL

Our Monday #Bookstagram is also James’s #WeekendReads and also his #MSWL. Susan’s Bone Gap Mystery series has everything James is looking for in a Mystery! An original and awesome… instagram.com/p/BpPSa4rHjHJ/….@Furlong_Sue kept me company this weekend and inspired today’s #MSWL post. It’s everything I love in a Mystery and am glad I finally read it. If you haven’t, you must. If you have something like it, send this way, please!
