Yesterday marked the launch of Crimereads, Literary Hub's new site dedicated to mystery, thrillers, and true crime. A welcome letter from the editors can be found here.

Very cool! Thanks for linking this.

I particularly like the essay from Emily Winslow, The Comfort of Crime Novels: "Crime fiction is entertainment, but being entertaining doesn’t trivialize what it allows its readers and writers to rehearse. Stories of what comes after a terrible event acknowledge the reality of terrible experiences with dignity and compassion." YES.

I also loved this tribute to the late and much missed Sue Grafton.
