Suspense
Paranormal Mysteries
Locked Room Mystery
Courtroom/Legal Mysteries
Caper
Humorous Mystery (Janet Evanovich, Joan Hess)
Animal Sidekick Mysteries

Culinary Mysteries
Can't think of any more off the top of my head.
AHHHH more challenges that I want to do! I'm so overly addicted. I can't decide whether to start with Sci-Fi or Fantasy so I'm going to choose in the only logical way I can: Sci-Fi (because no one else has chose it yet)Science-fiction (x12)

Ooo I just noticed that Graphic Novels were added. I may have to change which one I'm doing....goodness so many choices.
Shay, I just realized that you contributed some more sub-genres to the mystery genre. Thank You! I'll look through your list and add a few under mystery soon.
Sashana wrote: "Shay, I just realized that you contributed some more sub-genres to the mystery genre. Thank You!

I noticed that most people who read a lot have a favorite "fluff" category and mysteries are mine. Well, more specifically cozy mysteries.
So I've changed my category. I have a lot of fantasy stacking up around me so I'm doing fantasy first. Fantasy (x10)
Dark Fantasy
Epic Fantasy
Fairy Tales
Fantasy Of Manners
High Fantasy
Low Fantasy
Magic

It is just me, or the sub categories overlap a lot?
They do. Also, Sashana, according to Goodreads you missed a few on sci fi. I've added them into my list. :)

(23/38) - Updated 2/25/12
My list is inspired by the blogspot Murder by 4. I’ve added a couple of my own.
Amateur Sleuth: The amateur sleuth tries to solve the murder of someone close. Either the police have tried and failed or misread the murder as an accident/suicide. Both the loss and need for a solution is personal.
1. ✔ Gingerbread Cookie Murder, by Joanne Fluke ★★★½✩ CDs to iPod/Touch 11/16
2. ✔ Ghost at Work, by Carolyn Hart ★★★★½ HB/library 10/11
Caper: A caper is a comic crime story. Instead of suave and calculating, the caper chronicles the efforts of the lovable bungler or protagonist who either thinks big or ridiculously small. Finally we get to laugh.
3. ✔ Lean Mean Thirteen, by Janet Evanovich ★★★★☆ OD audio 9/2
4. ✔ Fearless Fourteen, by Janet Evanovich ★★★★½ OV audio 9/16
Cozy Mystery: A bloodless crime and a victim who won't be missed. The solution can be determined using emotional (Miss Marple) or logical (Poirot) reasoning.
5. ✔ Murder is Binding, by Lorna Barrett ★★★½✩ PB 10/13
6. ✔ The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie, by Alan Bradley ★★★★★ OD audio 1/14
Crime Thriller: Suspense in the crime story comes from wondering whether the plan will work. We sometimes find ourselves rooting for the bad guys because they are smart, organized, and daring. The ride will be a bumpy one.
7. ✔ Deadly Fear, by Cynthia Eden ★★★★✩ audible.com 2/14;
8. Breaking Cover, by J.D. Rhoades (HC)
Culinary Mystery: Chef, baker, wine connoisseur; if it’s ingestible and includes recipes, it’s a culinary mystery.
9. ✔ Murder Uncorked, by Michele Scott ★★★★☆ PB 8/11
10. Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder, by Joanne Fluke (library ebook)
Double Act: It takes two to solve this mystery. They may be working together at the beginning, or not. Nevertheless, they help each other out by the end.
11. ✔ Borrower of the Night, by Elizabeth Peters ★★★½✩ MyiLibrary audio 8/9
12. ✔ Lust, Loathing and a Little Lip Gloss, by Kyra Davis ★★★★✩ audible.com & PB 5/31
Forensic Specialist: A medical examiner, forensic pathologist, forensic psychologist, forensic anthropologist, forensic entomologist…you get the idea.
13. Scarpetta, by Patricia Cornwell (OD audio)
14.
Future Cop/Sci Fy: Self-explanatory.
15. ✔ Rapture in Death, by J.D. Robb ★★★★★ OD audio 9/1
16. ✔ Vengeance in Death, by J.D. Robb ★★★★★ OD audio 11/13
Historical Mystery: Move your mystery into the past, near or far, and you've entered the realm of the historical mystery.
17. ✔ Crocodile on the Sandbank, by Elizabeth Peters ★★★★★ PB 7/6
18. ✔ A Poisoned Season, by Tasha Alexander ★★★★½ Kindle 6/19 “buddy read”
“I Never Knew You At All”/Masquerade: Protagonist finds out the person they are close to is not who they say they are.
19. ✔ Die for You, by Lisa Unger ★★★★✩OD audio 8/3
20.
Legal/Medical: Lawyers and doctors make effective protagonists since they seem to exist on a plane far above the rest of us. Although popular, these tales are usually penned by actual lawyers and doctors due to the demands of the information presented.
21. Code Blue, by Richard L. Mabry (not available at library; need to order)
22.
Missing Person Mystery: Someone’s gone missing!
23. ✔ The Babes in the Wood: An Inspector Wexford Mystery, by Ruth Rendell ★★★☆☆ OD audio 7/2
24.
Noir: While much PI is Noir, Noir also covers stories from the other side of the fence. Noir is a mood: gritty, bleak, and unforgiving. The usual brutality is about as far from Cozy as you can get.
25. The Maltese Falcon, by Dashiell Hammett (OD audio)
26. The Big Sleep, by Raymond Chandler (OD audio)
Romantic Suspense: Add a hefty dose of romance to a suspense and produce a romantic suspense. Not only does justice prevail, but love conquers all.
27. ✔ The Search, by Nora Roberts ★★★★½ OD audio 7/7
28. ✔ Chasing Fire, by Nora Roberts★★★★ ½ OD audio 7/25
Paranormal Mystery: Self-explanatory.
29. ✔ Cry Wolf, by Patricia Briggs ★★★★½ Nook for PC 8/16 “buddy read”
30.
Police Procedural: The police procedural emphasizes factual police operations. Law enforcement is a team effort where department politics often plays a large role. If you plan to write one of these, you need to spend time with police officers and research the tiny details which will make your story ring true.
31. ✔ Still Life, by Louise Penny ★★★☆☆ OD audio 8/12
32.
Private Eye: The PI is as much an American icon as the Western gunslinger. From the hardboiled PIs of the 30s and 40s to the politically correct investigators of today, this sub-genre is known for protagonists with a strong code of honor.
33. ✔ U Is for Undertow, by Sue Grafton★★★★☆ CD audio/own 8/5
34.
Professional Sleuth: The professional sleuth is an amateur sleuth in a professional setting, preferably a setting which is unique and intriguing. Not only is inside information used, but solving the crime returns order to a cloistered environment.
35. ✔ Die For Me, by Karen Rose ★★★★★ PB MiL audio 7/18
36. ✔ The Water Lily Cross, by Anthony Eglin ★★★★✩ HC/Library 12/17
Scotland Yard: The epitome of the investigator needed to solve a mystery, Britian’s Chief Inspectors working for Scotland Yard are in a class by themselves.
37. The Old Wine Shades: A Richard Jury Mystery, by Martha Grimes (MyiLibrary audio)
38.

Lily wrote: "Fantasy Of Manners (I read the wikapedia definition adn still dont get it.)"Jo Walton described Fantasy of Manners in a Tor post as: " a certain wry tone, which can be described as influenced by Austen, Dunnett or Heyer; wit, certainly in dialogue and often in the narration; a fairly central romantic plot, and complications of emotion; a formal and layered society; a non-technological but post-medieval society; society; cities; layers of sophistication; a world recognisably not our world."
She also included some examples. Some are below, there are more at the link (including if you go into the comments section).
Ellen Kushner: Swordspoint
Sherwood Smith: Crown Duel
Caroline Stevermer and Patricia Wrede: Sorcery and Cecelia or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot
Jo Walton: Tooth and Claw
I've read and enjoyed Patricia Wrede's Mairelon the Magician and Magician's Ward. They're both good.
I think
would work for Fantasy of Manners too. It's basically a Jane Austen-esque book with magic. Lovely book, I enjoyed it.
So Karen Chances Hunt the moon, which has a lot about the protag sshleeping through the society of Vamps and also turning the vamp society a whirl in her appointed role. That would fit yes?
I'd say sure. If there's a large focus on the nuances of the society and interactions between characters, I think it'd fit the bill. If it's mostly about someone jumping from one bed to the next, I'd consider another book. ^_^
ahhh, yea. I didn't mean sleeping. I meant dealing clumsily with the exacting societies of vamps and magic users (I guess I made a word up). So, I may use that one. Thanks for the input.
Yup. That is what I meant.

Welcome to the challenge, Amy! I love it when members decide to do some of our 'older' challenges.
Sashana wrote: "Welcome to the challenge, Amy! I love it when members decide to do some of our 'older' challenges."I did Fantasy last year. And I was thinking Sci FI was next but I decided to get out of my comfort zone and read romance.
I like this challenge because I have to read things I normally wouldn't read. I read a lot of paranormal romance, but never M/M lesbian romance.
