I read one of the Troy Soos books. I'm pretty sure it was MURDER AT FENWAY PARK, but I can't remember for sure.
I finished Leonard Goldberg's THE ART OF DECEPTION today. I'm reviewing it for the magazine so I had to get it read and write my draft review so no spoilers about what I thought here.
Thanks to Jay for the suggestion for a May feature focusing on sports-related mysteries. This conversation started on another thread (I'll copy those posts here), but I've been finding a lot of good book suggestions on Goodreads:
Troy Soos is a writer and teacher based in Winter Park, Florida. Soos is best known for his "Mickey Rawlings" series of historical baseball novels (seven books set from 1912 to 1923). He also authored a four-book historical mystery series set in 1890s New York featuring Marshall Webb and Rebecca Davies. Soos has written a nonfiction history of early New England baseball history, "Before the Curse," and two mystery short stories ("Pick-Off Play" and "Decision of the Umpire") now available as e-books. His newest release is "The Tomb That Ruth Built," the seventh in the Mickey Rawlings series (published March 2014).

I am sooo behind on Michael Connelly's books. I really like Harry Bosch and several of his books are on my keeper shelves. But I haven't read a bunch of his more recent books - I've just found too many new authors I like in addition to his.
You are missing out. His last few books (save one) have been OUTSTANDING!
What do you think? Should we still do an April feature? Any suggestions for May?
With everything going on in real time, I think skipping April is probably a good idea. I've seen many authors and readers posting stuff about how it has been hard or even impossible to focus on their work. I've found reading hard the last week or so.
I had to read almost an entire book today so that I could do the review which was due today. So move to May is what I say.
Baseball season would be in full swing if things were going on. How about May being a sports mystery themed month?
I would suggest Nicole Asselin's Murder at First Pitch as one of the reads for people here. I loved the book myself.
As much as I'd like to try some new series I haven't yet seen, I've found myself returning to old favourites a little during these anxious and uncertain times. So in the past week I've watched some episodes of NYPD Blue (had watched some but not all of series), and re-watched episodes from Grimm and Numb3rs, among others. I'm looking forward to the new season of Bosch, although that's not available for another couple of weeks yet.
Hope everyone is doing alright, wherever you are in the world.
Craig, I am a huge fan of NYPD Blue and own all 12 seasons on DVD. Can't get enough.
