The purpose of this blog is to feature the crime fiction blogs that I follow, and provide easy links for those who arrive here to explore the blogs of others.
My post on Mysteries in Paradise highlights some of those listed here who have inspired me to make my main blog better, and whose advice has resulted in new ideas, employment of new widgets, and even the creation of this specific blog.
Just found this page, Kerrie. Wow! Wish I did not have to prepare Monday´s classes and correct translations because it would be so much more interesting to dip into all these newfound wonders:)
