This month at our Tuesday Night Bloggers meetings we will be examining mysteries
within a historical context--either historical mysteries (written, say
in 1930 but set in the Victorian period, for example) or which take
place during or around a historical event or which address historical
issues. The field is wide-open so if you have historical mysterious
thoughts to share,
please stop by for group discussion and I'll add your posts to the list. We
tend to focus on the Golden Age of crime fiction--generally accepted as
published between the World Wars, but everyone seems to have a slightly
different definition and we're pretty flexible. Essays on more recent crime
fiction are welcome as well.
This week's Historical Experts:
Brad @ Ah Sweet Mystery Blog: "Magpie Murders: The Silver Age & the Modern Era Collide"
Kate @ Cross Examining Crime: "Writing the 1930s"

And that's all folks...I haven't had a chance to put anything together this week. So, I'm going to sit this one out. Next month the Tuesday Night Bloggers will be taking a look at Foreign Mysteries (non-US and non-UK)--either set in a foreign locale, translated works from authors outside, or, for the more adventurous, a comparison of books written by someone NOT from the locale in question to a work by someone from that country.
I'll be collecting here at the Block again in December, so feel free to join in and I'll add you to each week's listing.
