Landscapes of Crime

Once I start posting after a dry spell I seem to come across lots of things to post. Generally this is because I'm doing research on a particular subject using our wonderful FREE internet and stumble across so many interesting things. Like did you know that the word omniphagous doesn't seem to be in any dictionary yet is used quite often on various internet sites especially those discussing insects. Anyone know a dictionary where this word is listed?

I digress. The reason for this post is to share another mystery site that recommends mysteries set in particular locations, G.J. Demko's Landscapes of Crime. There is even a page for Florida and Louisiana mysteries. Not an extensive list, actually not a list at all, but some recommendations for books set in these locales. This site also has MAPS! of the number of mysteries set in particular states and countries (mysteries written in English). I guess if you're a writer and you see an underserved state or country you could do your part and write a mystery for that area.
