Every Thriller Reader Needs an Amateur Detective Starter Kit

Before I was a mystery reader, I was a Honey West fan. Between her pet tiger, signature beauty mark, and crime-solving adventures, she convinced me that detective work looked like a lot of fun. In honor of every thriller reader who's ever been absolutely certain they knew who the killer was, here's my completely unofficial starter kit for solving a murder—without actually solving a murder.

Finished At Midnight Comes the Cry by Julia Spencer-Fleming. As I feared, its well-meaning anti-racism elements get a bit cringey at times but it's a good nail-biter of a suspense story. It could be an entry into the series, though romance fans would want to start at the beginning.
