About My Library: I read mainly, in fact almost exclusively, crime/mystery and have a strong preference for British crime, but also read Australian, translated Scandinavian crime but in practice almost any.
In general the books listed here are not books I own now - they have been borrowed from the library, or from friends, or if I did buy them, they have been handed on to friends and relatives
About Me: I have been reading mystery/crime titles almost as long as I can remember, certainly all of my adult life.
I have travelled quite a lot since 1972 and enjoy reading novels set in places I have been to.
I am the founder/owner of oz_mystery_readers (http://au.groups.yahoo.com/group/oz_mystery_readers/), a smallish Yahoo group that discusses crime/mystery fiction available in Australia.
I review crime fiction. Leave me a message if you would like me to review for you. I just need a copy of the book :-) I have a Kindle so can read e-books in the right format.
