Mystery & Crime Fiction Blog Carnival - June 2013

This month the blog carnival is on the second Monday of the month. I hope that delay didn't confuse too many readers.  I was just so excited to have Hy Conrad's guest post that I did not want to delay it.

Please help the newsletter for the blog carnival to get more subscribers.  If a blog reviews mystery/suspense/thrillers (even occasionally) then I would like to feature those reviews.  I send the newsletter out once a month announcing the deadline for submitting to this blog carnival.  Multiple entries from a blog are welcome.
