Lexie Elliott – Granite Noir

There’s a plenty of life left in classic crime fiction, reimagined with fresh modern twists by today’s authors. Lexie Elliott’s novel, The Missing Years, features an eerie old Scottish manor— that seems to be watching its inhabitants. In Peter Swanson’s Rules for Perfect Murders, a bookseller comes under police scrutiny when a serial killer imitates crimes depicted in famous mystery novels—crimes he selected as his “Eight Favourite Murders” in a long ago blog post.
