There used to be a list of Jewish Mystery/Detective fiction. I

I am pulling together a bibliography of Jewish mystery fiction to serve
as a checklist for readers that would like to read mysteries with Jewish
themes and/or lead characters. I believe that I have found most of the
'usual suspects' such as Harry Kemmelman, Fay Kellerman, and Rochelle
Krisch etc.
