Monica, If you put mystery-fiction into the search space and click on subject or subject heading, you should get the titles and authors available. Also, if you go into the library, I think some libraries, at least the library systems I have available to me, have all the mysteries in a separate section, alphabetical by author. My closest branch also has the most recent ones in a section adjacent to but separate from the rest. I can't remember if my other branches do or not.
