Hi everyone!
FALL ISSUE #111 is on its way to readers' mailboxes and brimming with autumnal plenty. Look for interviews with acclaimed writers James Ellroy (Blood's a Rover), Nevada Barr (13 1/2), and James R. Benn (Evil for Evil), as well as a terrific piece commemorating Nero Wolfe on the 75th anniversary of the much-loved classic Fer de Lance.
Mystery Scene's Ed Gorman chats with award-winning author Nancy Pickard (The Virgin of the Small Plains) about why there's no place like her Kansan home, and "What's Happening With..." tracks down Beth Saulnier, the pen behind the Alex Bernier mystery series. Add in "New Books" essays from Hank Phillippi Ryan, Sharon Wildwind, Clea Simon, Michael Lister, and Roy LaPlante, plus the latest reviews on the best fall reads, your favorite columns, and more.
Happy fall reading!
Sincerely,
Kate Stine
Editor-in-Chief
