	Latter-day Saints / Mormons in Mystery Novels
		Given the nature of mystery novels, this should not be surprising, because the genre is focused on the dark side of every culture and character.
		Most Latter-day Saint/Mormon characters in science fiction and fantasy novels are devout, active members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, even in stories set hundreds of years in the future or on other planets.
		Some of these novels contain material which some Latter-day Saint readers would find offensive, either because the book was intended by the author as defamation of Christians in general or Mormons in particular, or simply because the portrayal is inaccurate or based on century-old pulp fiction stereotypes.

	Golden Age Mysteries - 'Impossible' Mystery Novels that Equal the best of Carr
		I wouldn't say insulted, but I do resent the implication that, when one was an adolescent, one didn't have enough intelligence to understand the books one was reading, or to make a sensible judgement on their quality.
		True classics like "King Solomon's Mines" never lose their freshness, and in fact I reread it with great enjoyment (see my web site entry: http://www.geocities.com/~betapisce...mes/haggard.htm) a few years ago while going through a doldrum of interesting mysteries to be occupied with.
		But the sort of mysteries that appealed to me as a kid always seemed to involve the master criminal being the respectable old lady or the rich businessman or aristocrat of 'impeccable* reputation', and I always guessed who it was.
