Around the blogs

At Eurocrime, there's an interview with Turkish author Mehmet Murat Somer about his Hop-Ciki-Yaya series, which stars what might be the world's first
transvestite detective. His first book has recently been released in the UK, The Prophet Murders.

Carnival of the Criminal Minds jumps to author Sandra Ruttan's blog this week, where she continues a discussion on a mystery/crime fiction primer. Ruttan also directs us to other good crime fiction blogs. Expect to spend some time clicking around!

Another blog chock-full of information is Mysteries in Paradise, with its Sunday salon on what slows down your reading. I know I'll always find something worthwhile on this blog.

And at the incomparable Sarah Weinman's blog, she tells us about the book you HAVE to read.
