The Hidden Staircase Mystery Books has updated its list of new hardcover mysteries with books scheduled for publication in April 2009.
As we've done for several months now, we're listing those authors with returning series characters, new series characters, and non-series or stand-alone mysteries in separate sections. All titles are available on our April mystery books page. We're also using the "carousel" widget by Amazon.com to display a random selection of titles; refreshing this page will change the selection displayed.
