The Mystery, Crime, and Thriller Group discussion

Hi-
I discovered Lisa Lutz recently and blew through the entire series and loved it. I am looking for more mysteries like Lutz.

I have read and loved the Stephanie Plum series, Jennifer Crusie, Charlaine Harris and Sarah Strohmeyer. Looking for more books along the same lines to feed my reading habit.

Puzzle lady series are fun by A Clue for the Puzzle Lady, this is not the first but should be able to find from this. Also The Day The Music Died this series takes place in the late fifties, early 60's and is light and fun as well.

I enjoyed the Karen Kijewski series featuring Kat Colorado. Begin with Katwalk (in 1990, it won the Shamus and Anthony awards for best first novel).

the Code of Misconduct just came out in the e book. I think it was a great lee childs, mickey spillane type

Have you seen Mario Acevedo's books? They are a bit different than those of the authors you've listed - his protagonist is a vampire P.I. - but they are kind of silly and campy, with some of Lutz's goofiness.

Darynda Jones has a fun (and hot!) mystery series I would recommend. The first is First Grave on the Right.
