Those delightful folks at the Waterboro Library in Waterboro, Maine, have published the best book list I’ve seen all year. “Drowned Towns” features mysteries (and other fiction) “... with a featured element of intentional submerging, inundating, and flooding of towns, villages, cities, and other places as a consequence of building dams and reservoirs ...” The mystery section is called “Reservoir Noir.” See the rundown here.While familiar authors such Peter Robinson, Donald E. Westlake, and Julia Spencer-Fleming are predictably included, so are some more obscure writers, including Michael Miano and Allen Dipper, neither of whom I have encountered before.
Perfect choices of reading matter for this upcoming long weekend at your favorite manmade lake.
