Otherwise Famous

Our tongue-in-cheek-collection of recent and forthcoming mystery and crime fiction books by authors who are often better-known for their other career.

This is just for fun, no slight intended if you are (a) famous and not on the list, or (b) concerned that famous people get more attention than "regular" authors.

If you are interested in the latest debuts by new authors who are not otherwise famous, they can be found on the Debut Crime Novels page.
