What a Mystery!

In the past, Bonnie and I would recommend our favorite books of the year (and if you are want to see them click on these years to take you to them: 2010, 2009, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004) and the mystery books in these lists were always popular among our readers. But we got away from doing that. So here we go again with my favorite mystery books since 2010 from some of my very favorite writers (most with a humorous bent):
- Love Song of J. Edgar Hoover by Kinky Friedman — an off-beat man writes an off-beat mystery
- Bad Chile by Joe Lansdale — backwoods Texas version of Parker's Spencer hero
- Nairobi Heat by Mukowa Wa Ngugi -- NGO conspiracy stretches from Wisconsin to Kenya
- Between the Bridge and the River by Craig Ferguson — night show host takes crack at humorous Scottish mystery
- Jack Wakes Up by Seth Harwood — actor caught in a drug war
- Learning to Swim by Sara Henry — writer sees boy thrown off ferry boat and investigates
- Land of the Blind by Jess Walter — confession of murder of a childhood friend
- Dog Eats Dog by Ian Levinson — bank robber hides out in small New Hampshire town
- Smoked by Patrick Quinlan — hit man stalked by former employer
- A Samba for Sherlock by Jo Soares — funny Sherlock based in Brazil
- Bank Shot by Donald Westlake — bumbling thief targets bank in a trailer

Roger and Bonnie, I've missed your annual reading recommendations. I don't have any more time to read in retirement than I did when I was working, but I still manage to squeeze in some reading time every day. Glad to see you've discovered Kinky Friedman-he's a regional treasure. Weirdest concert i ever attended: Tiny Tim and Kinky and the Texas Jew Boys on a double bill at the Lone Star Cafe in New York City.
If you haven't read Peter Heller you might give him a try: The Dog Stars; The Painter. Both contain lyrical descriptions of fly fishing and the natural environment.

my favorite humorist mystery writer is Jasper Fford. He has a series about libraries and librarians (Thursday Next) and two about the nursery crime unit: "The Big Over Easy", "The Fourth Bear". Both will definitely tickle the fancy of early childhood teachers, who know their nursery rhymes.
