Does anyone know where I can find a list of mystery book topics/themes online? I know that someplace there's a listing of themes used in mysteries such as Mennonite/Amish, sudoku, quilting, scrapbooking, etc.

Daisy, I think the easiest is to search the very thing you are looking for. In this case, try "mystery topics" or "mystery themes" or even "cozy mysteries" and that should give you a list. I did that years ago when I first started to work with these reviews and it helped a lot.
You would not believe the number of themes/topic areas there are, especially in the cozy category.
Let me know how it works out and maybe I can help you gather a list. You might end up with more than one list - for example, a list of cozy topics and a list of mysteries such as legal, medical, thriller, paranormal etc.

Hi, Daisybun,
I was wondering if you were able to compile a satisfactory list of mystery book topics and themes. Would love to hear from you.

Hi Edie --
I didn't compile a list. But I do go online and run a search of mystery themes --
like 'mystery book topics', 'sudoku' or
'mystery book topics', 'chocolate' -- that kind of thing.

I realize that the above list is more school age related but the Young Adult category is very good with mysteries.

Sheryl - The Cozy Mystery site is one of the best book sites I've ever found. Are you on FaceBook? Cozy Mystery is on there as well and you can get up to date information re cozies.
