    Have shared on FB and Twitter. My Other is Suspense. I’m on a roll reading standalone suspense these days.

    I read any genre as long as the book is well-written and well plotted. I prefer books with a strong female protagonist but I don’t limit myself to them.

    I picked a category, but there isn’t one of those that I DON’T read. I read them all, including true crime.

    I notice Capers got very few votes. I wonder if it’s because the reader is conflicted while reading the story. What do you think?

    For those who wondered why suspense and/or thrillers were not on the list, technically they are not mysteries. In looking up the definitions, the distinction was made.

    Most mysteries reveal a crime and then require their main characters to work backwards to figure out who committed that crime. In a thriller or suspense, the bad guy is often established early on, and the main characters must work to stop them from doing more harm.

    To me some of the historical mysteries are also cozies.

    Although I mainly read cozies, I read many historicals, a majority that fit in the cozy or traditional category. I also enjoy many Traditional Mysteries. I periodically read some of the other subgenres, but not near as often.
