Guys, what kind of books would you have?

[JimC]

I would have some murder mysteries made better than the one I'm reading now. It's not awful, but it's not necessary to announce that something bad is going to happen to a character later. WE KNOW the detectives, wives kids, harmless towb winos and anyone else are ALL fair game to be victims.

Anders Knutas mystery.

The weird thing is that most detective books, and TV series always involve a cascading sequence of murders. I would imagine that most homicide cases in reality involve single events...

Harder to make a good story about that, though.

It's like that British series, Midsummer Murders, set in a small, idyllic English village. By now, the entire village should be depopulated...

Senshi Soshi, all 108 volumes, please.

Yeah, reminds me of "Murder She Wrote". How many people can be murdered in a small town centred around a random old lady, before they just nuke the town from orbit and start over?

Tentacle porn graphic novels. An entire wing devoted to it.

I would never shake hands with Jessica Fletcher. If she knows you, you will be murdered.

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Don't get Marpled, either.

I should not read musteries for a while. There are 2 candidates for the rapist pedophile. And they want to arrest the one that left town. But theres 12% of book left!

The killer is going to be the detective's best friend. A happily married man. I'll let you know if I had it right.

Yup. At 94% the clue from a page at 50% reappears. It's the best friend.

[Tero]

And finally at 97% the killer blows up a sauna committing suicide in the flames.

No, not a Finnish book, Swedish.

Next book is a dollar item from the book fair about sea life and ecology of Chesapeake bay.

There's an average of 4 murders an episode in Midsomer Murders, I read somewhere. That's more than Helmand province.

You'd think they'd sack the Chief Inspector, he's hopeless at preventative policing...

[Tyrannical]

I find books quite anachronistic
