Eight mysteries about cryptids & cryptozoology

Elisa Shoenberger is a freelance writer and journalist. At Book Riot she tagged eight "mystery books [that] explore the wide world of cryptids, from werewolves to Big Foot and the Loch Ness Monster." One title on the list:
A Death in Door County by Annelise Ryan

Some people knit; others fix up old cars. Morgan Carter tries to find cryptids when she’s not tending her bookshop in Door County, Wisconsin. But her hobby becomes serious when she’s asked to look into some mysterious deaths. Several bodies found in the water appear to have been mauled by a large creature. Will she get to the bottom of the crime, or will she become another victim of this nameless creature? It’s the first book in the Mystery Hunter series, which just saw book four, Monster in the Moonlight, drop in January.
