The goal of this page is to maintain a listing of online mystery-related
sources without including subpages, to
avoid sending you to the same site over and over again. The list was
originally compiled
for the Virtual Murder panel at Bouchercon 27, October 1996, and has more
than quadrupled since then.
Some authors and fictional characters have numerous web pages -- John
Grisham, Stephen King, Sherlock Holmes, etc. In those cases the single
site listed contains links to the others.
Please send any additions or corrections to
Barbara Paul.
