Recommendation for a good murder mystery books?

February 282010

I’m looking for a good murder mystery book that might be a little more on the graphic side. I’ve recently hit a slump on reading and need to would like to get back into it with a book that has some good intrigue, sexual content and has a bit of a bite.

Any good recommendations?

Try Sebastien Japrisot, "The Girl in the Car with Glasses and a Gun," "The Sleeping Car Murders," and for a twist, a non-murder mystery that uses the mechanisms of murder mysteries to tell a different kind of tale, "A Very Long Engagement." In the last, five French soldiers are reported killed in action in 1917. In 1919, the fiancee of one of them hears that one or two may have survived. So she must unravel the last days and interrelationships of all five to learn whether her fiancee lives. Made into a film with Audrey Tautou.

How do I sell a huge lot of inherited collector’s mystery books?

February 222010

My uncle passed away last year, and he left me boxes of hardcover mystery books. There are probably at least 400 of them. They are all in library plastic book covers; he was a book collector.

Now there are some books that are woth $40 or $50, others $100 and $200 and one or two are worth $800. My house isn’t very big; it’s under renovations. At the moment they are in storage. When the house is done I plan on putting in bookshelves for the books. But I’m wondering if I should sell the books or some of the collection and get some money for college or something…but then again I kind of feel a responsiblity to keep the books and think I might feel guility if I sell them.

What do you suggest I do? And if I decide to sell the books where should I sell them (in the NY Metro area)?

Keep them.
