Love Is Murder celebrated its tenth anniversary on the second of February. This mid-winter gathering is now combined with MWMWA's long-running Dark and Stormy. This year started out with a snowstorm which disrupted a lot of plans, but hey, mystery writers and fans are adaptable. So here are some pictures.
