What useful information have you learned from the site you are monitoring?
Stop You're Killing Me is a site established by Lucinda Surber and Stan Ulrich and they are book lovers. This is obvious when you peruse the site and see just how much content is available for mystery enthusiasts.
I appreciate the logical layout of the pages and the multitude of hyperlinks within the site. Checking out Next Months Releases I found a book for summer reading, Linda Castillo's Her Last Breath which is due to be released June 18th. The other aspect of the site that is both educational and informative are The Mystery Book Awards. I checked out The Dagger Awards and there is a hyperlink to Crime Writers Association; likewise, The Edgar Awards links to Mystery Writers of America and these are great places to check out the latest news about new authors, titles and the world of publishing.
Looking at Book Reviews, I located 2 more titles of interest: Chris Evans' Safe House and Tessa Harris' The Anatomists Apprentice. The summaries gave me a good idea of the overall plot, characterization and setting.
The Location Index allows the reader to narrow his/her focus when choosing a mystery title. For instance, if you are a mystery reader who is interested predominantly in historyical mysteries, there is a subheading "Historical" where you can search for only those titles.
