This month's topic is all about location, location, location. Some of the titles on this list are cozies, where the crime takes place off the page and there is little or no violence. Others are hard boiled and include lots of gruesome details. Whether the main character is a cranky cab driver, a lawyer, a detective or a shaker, they all have one thing in common --- they take place right here, in Massachusetts.
