- Belzer, Richard (Richard Belzer)
- Chandler, Raymond (Philip Marlowe)

- Cussler, Clive (Isaac Bell)

Interesting in joining in on a Mysterious Morning discussion? A list of suggested authors and titles are available at the Bridgewater Library and books will be on display about a month prior to the discussion. (If you’re a voracious mystery reader you can read more than one.) Our next theme/subgenre is Dogs and Cats Solving Mysteries Together!
If it’s a mystery and it features a main character that is not human, then it fits this month’s sub-genre. Just keep in mind how main character's species affects the unfolding of the mystery because that’ll be a major talking point at our discussion on Wednesday, May 18th at 9:30am at the Bridgewater Library.
