Mystery Scene Magazine

Mystery Scene Magazine
Mystery Scene magazine is a bi-monthly publication that should be right up the alley of any mystery fiction fans. This slick-covered periodical features regular interviews with famed and up-and-coming authors, fascinating looks at subgenres and quirky mystery-related topics, and excellent reviews of new and classic works in the mystery field. The first few pages of every issue also feature "breaking news" and announcements about recent award winners (or nominees) in the mystery fiction field. For readers lamenting the loss of the classic Armchair Detective magazine several years ago, Mystery Scene should give you a fix nearly worthy of that literary giant. -- recommended by Scott C. - Bennett Martin Public Library [Note: Currently available only at the Gere Branch library.]

Fans of the late Armchair Detective will be happy to hear that many of that magazine's writers migrated over to Mystery Scene: Dick Lochte (audiobook reviews), Jon L. Breen (reference/nonfictin reviews, articles), Louis Phillips (Mystery Miscellany), Charles L.P. Silet (articles, reviews), among others. And I edited the magazine for five years.
