Looking for your next mystery fix?

It’s a Mystery Podcast is for readers and lovers of the mystery genre. Podcast episodes feature story readings and interviews with authors of mysteries including crime, detective, British detective, amateur sleuth, procedural, noir, suspense, cozy, thriller and more.

Host Alexandra Amor says, “Remember how great it felt as a child to be read a story before bed? Or how about reading time at your school or public library? ‘Tell me a story!’ is the most basic of human requests.

Now you can enjoy that same feeling of being read to… in the privacy of your own headphones!

It’s a Mystery Podcast connects readers like you with mystery authors who love to tell you their stories. Beginning with episode 71, mystery authors read to you from their stories and we find out about their inspiration and have a quick peek behind the curtain at what went into writing their story.”
