About Me

Mystery Scene magazine is for people who like mysteries, thrillers, PI novels, cozy crimes, historical mysteries or psychological suspense.

We have a new issue five times per year. Our special 100th issue will be out this June, with a ton of extras, and Mystery Scene's take on the "100 Best" of mystery and crime fiction.

We cover novels, films, TV shows, audio-books, children's mysteries, and much, much more. Subscriptions are $32 per year in the US, $42 in Canada, and $65 elsewhere.

Check out our website for more details, to search our online review database, or to read feature articles from previous issues.

We've raised $3,000 so far for the New Orleans Public Library! $5.00 from every back issue sale goes to the library. Click here to read a pdf about the fundraiser or here to look at our back issues for sale.
