The March Mystery Madness showdown has now reached its third week. During the last round, 48 books were voted off, leaving 16 behind to duke it out over the coming three weeks....
Here are some highlights from last week's competition:
The legendary proved she was beatable…by . The Mysterious Affair at Styles sent Sleeping Murder to an early slumber (maybe with the fishes?) and now Christie takes on another icon of the genre, . Surely, this match-up of mystery masters is the one most pundits will be paying attention to in Week Three as each writer has seen and done it all (except, of course, been crowned March Mystery Madness Champion).
is the lone Canadian left in the field after leaving stranded on Pig Island with no hope of tournament rescue in this tournament. But Pyper now has to face the formidable challenge of Killing the Shadows with a chance to take on either or in the Elite Eight.
is done after being Carved in Bone by , who now faces off against ’s What Came Before He Shot Her. If you’ve got money on the 2008 tournament (and let’s face it, who doesn’t?) George may be the horse to bet on. She and Lehane are the only authors with two books still alive, though with George matched up against Bass on one side and the powerhouse that is in the other, what comes after won’t have been easily earned.
Keep on sending in those votes, and remember to enter the draw for the big prize: all 64 March Mystery Madness titles.
