Although the Hidden Staircase Mystery Books strives to provide a comprehensive source of information for mystery books, other websites offer complementary information that you may find interesting and useful. Below are some of our favorite mystery websites.

Mystery Writers of America: The premier organization for mystery writers, professionals allied to the crime writing field, aspiring crime writers, and those who are devoted to the genre.

ClueLass.com and The Mysterious Homepage (ceased operation in 2008)

Stop, You're Killing Me! A Site to Die For.

Interactive Murder Mystery: Try something different and try interactive crime fiction where you are the detective in a murder mystery.

Mystery at Mansfield Manor: An interactive murder mystery movie. Similar to a combination of Clue and a choose-your-own adventure movie.

Perfect Crime: A chilling suspense drama, the longest-running non-musical play in the history of New York theater.

We'd also like to recognize other mystery contests and sweepstakes sites; note that many of these have expiration dates and may not be currently running:

Bookloons.com: Offers an extensive list of book-related contests, including several with a mystery theme.

Deadly Ink: Offers several mystery writing contests.

Online-Sweepstakes.com: One of the largest databases of sweepstakes on the internet. Use the search term "mystery" to find mystery-related sweepstakes and contests.

Writer's Digest: Offers several writing contests annually.
