Many of you know I have a weekly radio program on WCEI fm 96.7 http://www.wceiradio.com/morningshow.html where I announce our Oxford store weekly bestsellers and give recommendations on what to read next. Here is this week's list.
AT NUMBER 5 IS THE PALE HORSE BY DELAWARE AUTHOR CHARLES TODD. A MURDER IN THE COUNTRY BRINGS SCOTLAND YARD DETECTIVE IAN RUTLEDGE TO A SMALL DESOLATE TOWN WHERE THE RESIDENTS HAVE SECRETS WORTH HIDING.
Mysteryland lost three dear souls in January, Margaret Truman, Ed Hoch and Virginia author Benjamin Schutz.
Margaret Truman may or may not have written her Capital Crimes novels. Expert Jon Breen says it was Donald Bain. But she is credited with loving mysteries, as was her mother, the First Lady, Bess Truman. We'll see if Margaret left a "trunk of manuscripts" as Elliott Roosevelt did. You can read Mr. Breen's thoughts on the Truman and Roosevelt matters @
It is a really rainy day and you need a book to read. Well I am here to help with two historical mysteries.

Welcome to our new blog for Mystery Loves Company Booksellers. As you may know we have two stores which specialize in mysteries in Maryland. One in Fells Point in Baltimore founded in 1991 and a second one in the 325-year-old town of Oxford on Maryland's Eastern Shore.
