The Mystery Review Crew’s (MRC) mission is to support authors and publishers by providing a platform that connects them with an avid community of reader enthusiasts. Through the MRC’s passion for exceptional storytelling, the MRC aims to foster a love of reading while helping readers discover their next favorite book. 

While we remain devoted to the traditional definition of the mystery genre, the scope of the MRC mission utilizes a broader meaning to include any novel containing an element of mystery.
