I like that you included non-fiction as well, Cynda!
I'll be participating in this challenge. The list to follow.
Thank you for the list of sub-genres, I think I might try Noir, Courtroom and Police Procedurals!

Pity I have already reread Agatha Christie, which I haven't touched since my school years!

[Cynda]

Glad you're joining in Lamilla!

Here's my pre readathon challenge

[Avid Reader and Geek Girl]

I won't quite finish but I got 2 non-fiction mysteries & 3 fictional mysteries done!

[Cynda]

I did similarly well. I read 3 fiction and 3 nonfiction. Plus during our readathon, I will listen to a Perry Mason audiobook. I will keep the last mystery for another day.

[Lamilla]

Impressive results, Avid and Cynda!
I finished the first part (3 fiction books) and was able to do extra mile (as in: three different genres)
