Mystery Book Club met Sunday, November 21, 2021 to discuss selected mysteries where the victim(s) is not a woman. This list features our top picks! A mystery is a story about a crime and the investigation and discovery of who did it. *Mysteries without female victims are widely varied in mood & writing style; some are gentle cozy reads -- avoiding explicit violence-- while others are grittier, hard-boiled noir with brutal details. The sleuth may be an amateur or an expert. [See more about this theme at the bottom of the list. The International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women is November 25, 2021 -- declared by the United Nations.]
This list is sorted by author.

Cozy, witty & upbeat, amateur sleuth historical mystery set in the 1950s English countryside, pub 2009, 1st in series, debut, Awards: Agatha, Dilys, Macavity, etc., 2017 Mystery Book Club recommendation especially for fans of young adult fiction, “Equally adept at quoting 18th-century works, listening at keyholes and picking locks, 11-year-old Flavia learns that her father may be involved in the suicide of his long-ago schoolmaster and the theft of a priceless stamp. The sudden expiration of the stranger in a cucumber bed and a sharp inspector with doubts about the colonel and his enterprising young detective daughter mean complications for Flavia and enormous fun for the reader.” ~Publishers Weekly (Formats: print book 373 pages, audiobk CD)

The 1st 100 pages are slow. Includes enjoyable the chess-playing intellect... Also see the movie! Complex, atmospheric & lyrical historical bibliomystery with amateur sleuth, translated from Italian, pub 1994 “Fueled by bookish ingenuity, this brilliant Borgesian-Nabokovian historical--part pageant, part whodunit--shines with a distinctly dry light. The story concerns a series of murders at a mythical Benedictine abbey in 1327. The master detective is a wise and tolerant Franciscan scholar, Brother William of Baskerville, while a young Benedictine monk, Adso of Melk, plays the part both of narrator and inevitable sidekick/apprentice-sleuth. The dense and finely spun mystery revolves around the last remaining copy of Aristotle's writings on comedy. Eco has the learning to paint an ornate medieval panorama, the inventiveness to fill it with elegant conundrums (labyrinthine architecture, recondite Latin allusions, etc.). A rich tapestry for a historically-minded audience.” ~Kirkus Reviews (Format: print book 502 pages, eBook in Hoopladigital.com)

Recommended in spite of the tradition of Purdah feeling unjust for women -- especially while reflecting on this theme. Amateur sleuth, engaging, descriptive, strong sense of place in 1920s Mumbai, India, Own Voices, 2018 pub, 1st in series, Edgar Award winner, 2018 Mystery Book Club recommendation, "In partnership with her father, Perveen Mistry mainly processes paperwork, since in 1920s Bombay, women are disallowed from presenting in court. Her chance to meet actual clients finally arrives when she questions the disposition of an inheritance to three Muslim widows living in full purdah (seclusion), which prohibits their talking to men. Each widow has signed over her only ongoing source of income to charity. Perveen is determined to ask them why, and inadvertently sets off a chain of violence and recrimination. In addition to getting an unusual perspective on women’s rights and relationships, readers are treated to a full view of historical downtown Bombay —the shops and offices, the docks and old fort, and the huge variety of conveyances, characters, and religions—in an unforgettable olio that provides the perfect backdrop to the plot and subplots. Each of the many characters is uniquely described, flaws and all, which is the key to understanding their surprising roles in the well-constructed puzzle." ~Booklist (Formats: 385 pages, eAudiobook in Hoopladigital.com & eBook in Libby/Overdrive, but not print book)

Fun, but reader must suspend disbelief. Quirky amateur sleuth,engaging, amusing, intricately plotted, pub 2018, 2nd in series, “Riley Ellison has quit librarianship to work as a small-town reporter. The job suits her, but tell that to her colleague Spencer, who refers to Riley as “the intern” and makes her do boring research for the obituaries of the “pre-dead,” alive-and-kicking locals whose obit details have to be kept current, just in case. What Riley thought was busywork, however, turns out to be the basis for exciting journalism when a local doctor is found dead. The road to unmasking the killer isn’t smooth personally or professionally for Riley. The small-town nature of this mystery, with the requisite fish-bowl local politics, relationships, and grudges, makes it perfect for cozy lovers.” ~Booklist

Character-driven & introspective police procedural, atmospheric, lyrical, pub 2009, 5th in series, won Agatha & Anthony Awards for Best Novel, "The body of an unknown man has turned up on the floor of the village bistro and antique shop. With a sophistication and a sense of empathy, Gamache and his team tease information out of the recalcitrant locals. When the identity of a hermit who was living in a cabin deep in the woods is finally revealed, the case expands its boundaries, as Penny leapfrogs gracefully from village rivalries and festering grudges to the international antiques trade and the works of legendary Canadian artist Emily Carr. What holds the book together, though, is the calming presence of Gamache. Penny belongs in the hands of those who read not only P. D. James but also Donna Leon, who, like Penny, mixes her hero’s family and professional lives fluidly and with a subtle grasp of telling detail." ~Booklist (Formts: regular 327 pages & large print book, audiobk CD, eAudio in Hoopladigital.com)

Darkly humorous, complex & thought-provoking caper, pub 2021, "A fast-paced, highly entertaining hybrid of Tony Hillerman and Edward Abbey. This is part mystery; part quirky, darkly funny, mayhem-filled thriller; and part meditation on what it means to "own" land, artifacts, and the narrative of history in the West. Sophia Shepard is a Princeton anthropology Ph.D. student whose outspokenness has resulted in a kind of exile to remote southern Utah. She crosses paths with the Ashdowns, two sinister brothers, criminals who've botched a burglary. Petersen keeps piling on plot twists, eccentric characters, and well-described settings, and beneath the plot's pandemonium there's an intriguing meditation on "authenticity," on "ownership," and on the legacy of violence in the remote West." ~Kirkus Reviews

Witty & snarky fast-paced plot-driven, pub 2018, 18th in series--a good introduction to the series, "A feel-good tale in which Carpenter is reeled into not only letting a homeless man, Don Carrigan, stay in his home, but also defending the man when he is accused of murder. All Don, a veteran with PTSD, wants is to get out of his cell and be reunited with his dog, leaving Carpenter (who loves dogs, too) to take care of the details, which only get more intricate and surprising as the case unfolds. Fans who are familiar with Carpenter know that his wisecracks mask a determination to find justice; there is plenty of smart-alecky talk here, as expected, but the tale is also rife with exciting showdowns, plot twists, and, yes, a little holiday warmth." ~Booklist
