Week 5 Assignment 1
I have been following the resource http://www.stopyourekillingme.com because I want to know more about all the different sub-genres of mysteries, this not being a category that I explore much. Tons of work went into this site. In the left-hand navigation pane, users can find lots of special indexes where they can access books by character name, profession, ethnicity, historical period, and type of mystery. Readers can specialize in cozy mysteries in which the detective is a librarian. There are 4100 authors of mystery, crime, thriller, spy, and suspense books; mystery readers can spend all day here finding great leads on books to read, and they can subscribe to a twice-monthly newsletter of forthcoming books. Not necessarily the prettiest site, but hardcore fans will overlook this in favor of the many links to all the well-organized lists of information. This site would be great fun to use with a computer-savvy customer who is looking for new authors, or with someone who remembers the name of a certain detective and wants to know what books they appear in. More than anyone would ever want to know about the genre!
