What you will find on the Cliffhangers Crime Fiction site are mysteries and thrillers (mostly in series) that I like—a lot. I hope you will find something that you like too.
I started this web store because I am a fan of a certain kind of mystery: well-written, witty, with quirky, vibrant characters, intriguing stories and a special spirit of place. The sights, sounds, smells, customs, and history of a specific location enrich and enliven these books. A New Yorker myself, I generally prefer mysteries set outside of the U.S.
And I like series. When I was a kid, I read all the Nancy Drews, all the Hardy Boys, all the Tintins. My taste for mystery series continues unabated. When I fall in love with a character, which is what happens when I really enjoy a mystery, I want to find out what happens to the character over a long period of time.
Happy reading,
