At the recent L.A. conference, the ARLIS/NA mystery
readers held their third "mystery meal"--their annual
get-together to share recommendations for good reading.
For those interested but unable to attend, we compiled
a short list of suggestions.  Included are one or two
recent favorites (authors or specific titles) from
each reader.

Barron, Stephanie ("Jane and the..." titles)
Burke, James Lee ("Sunset Limited")
Crombie, Deborah
Daly, Elizabeth
Ellroy, James ("L.A. Confidential")
Graham, Caroline
Hart, Carolyn G. (Henrie O series, e.g. "Death in Paradise")
Kellerman, Faye ("The Ritual Bath")
Lippman, Laura
Little, Constance & Gwenyth
Maloney, Shane (Australian-related mysteries)
Mankell, Henning ("The White Lioness")
Rowe, Jennifer (Australian-related mysteries)
Suskind, Patrick ("Perfume: the story of a murderer")
Wright, L. R.  ("Mother Love")

Next year in St. Louis, we'll be happy to hear your
reactions to these titles and your contributions
to the recommendations list.  Join us then.
