This mini-challenge is super easy. First sign-up for the #readathon if you have not done so
already (this will enter you to win prizes!). Next, answer my mini-challenge question in the comments section of this blog post or on twitter. If you are using twitter, please include @jrroper and #readathon in  your tweet. I will select a random participant to win a signed copy of D.E. Johnson’s mystery novel, The Detroit Electric Scheme.

MINI-CHALLENGE: What is your favorite mystery novel or TV/movie mystery? There it is. Simple. But, selfishly I want to know so that I can read and watch the best mysteries out there 🙂

Mini-challenge ends on December 9th at midnight EST.

Thank you for participating and check out the interview below. And READ, READ, READ!

Praise for D.E. Johnson:

“The surprise ending leaves you gasping and shaking your head at Johnson’s masterful plotting and the menacing tension that forces otherwise good characters to behave despicably. Every bit as powerful as Patricia Highsmith’s Ripley series, this gem of a debut showcases an author to watch very closely.” ––Booklist (starred review)

“If Dennis Lehane was from Detroit, this is the book he’d write.”  — Steve Hamilton, Edgar Award-winning author of The Lock Artist

“D.E. Johnson’s terrific debut brilliantly captures the dangerous underbelly of 1910 Detroit’s fast-growing automobile industry.  A well-plotted mystery filled with memorable characters and taut suspense, The Detroit Electric Scheme makes for a compelling read.” –Stefanie Pintoff, Edgar-award-winning author of In the Shadow of Gotham and A Curtain Falls
