Here are some great mysteries to read outside this weekend (perhaps on Sunday, when it won't be raining):
Frames
by Loren D. Estleman
A story that combines elements that will appeal to mystery fans and film buffs alike, the main character, Valentino, is a UCLA film archivist. He stumbles upon a corpse and priceless reels of film. It’s a race against time to solve the murder and lay claim to the film.
Quiver
by Peter Leonard
The author is Elmore Leonard’s son, and he has clearly inherited the writing gene! In this fast-paced debut novel, the action begins with the aftermath of a hunting accident between Kate’s husband and son.
Executive Privilege
by Peter Margolin
A private detective, Dana, is hired to follow a college student and report on her whereabouts. The girl meets with the president and is found dead the next day, so it looks as if someone connected to the White House is involved. Teaming up with a junior associate from a law firm, Dana and the lawyer must live long enough to solve the case.
