Kerrie at Mysteries in Paradise hosted the second round of the Crime Fiction Alphabet this year. Interested bloggers were invited to post weekly articles about authors, books or subjects relating to the letter of the week. Last time Kerrie ran the meme I did a tribute to Sue Grafton and chose 26 books with one-word titles. This time I chose a range of topics including types of characters, themes and locations but I admit I skipped a few letters of the alphabet due to a combination of other time commitments and, in a couple of instances, a lack of inspiration. So here is my 20-letter alphabet, with apologies to the letters H, K, T, U, X and Y.
- A is for Archaeology
- B is for Bibliophiles
- C is for Clergy
- D is for Dogs
- E is for Environment
- F is for France
- G is for Genealogists
- I is for Ice
- J is for Justice
- L is for Locked Room Mysteries
- M is for Movies
- N is for New Zealand
- O is for Old People
- P is for Politicians
- Q is for Quantico
- R is for Religious Cults
- S is for Science
- V is for Victoria (the state in Australia not the Queen)
- W is for Walking the dog (and other clichés)
- Z is for Zeitgeist
Bernadette – Thanks for doing this. You did some excellent posts, and it’s nice to have a summary of them.

Well, for the 20 letters which were featured here for the Crime Fiction Alphabet, the categories were great, and many of the listed books were new suggestions for my TBR list or books to be checked out further — or just plain interesting to read about. I will have to go back and reread several of them and note any authors or titles I had not yet listed. A lot of fun was had by all.
