What is Mystery Thriller Week? A Q&A with Benjamin Thomas

Whether you already love mysteries and thrillers or want to explore the genre, Mystery Thriller Week, coming in February 2017, offers opportunities galore.

Whether you already love mysteries and thrillers or want to explore the genre, Mystery Thriller Week, coming in February 2017, offers opportunities galore. As a kid, I loved reading mysteries. In adulthood, I somehow drifted away from the genre, until a friend told me about a must-read series: M. C.
