Please verify "crime" for Dance of Death
Thank you!"
Crime is noted as genre for Dance of Death.
This thread is to verify genres, in case they change between your choosing the book and posting it. It's not a general approval thread - if your concern is whether the main page clearly enough indicates the setting of California, you'll need to ask that question in the specific task help thread.

The verifications in this thread apply only to the Winter 2014-2015 challenge - they do not carry over to future challenges and genre verifications from the past challenges do not carry forward - verifications are only applicable to the current challenge.
A book need only be verified once in the thread - then it can be used by any participant in the Winter 2014-2015 challenge.
Please do not post task-specific questions here ("is this cover green enough?") and other such questions.
If you are planning to use a book for a genre task and fear that the genre may disappear, post a link to the book in this thread. We will no longer be "locking in" the lack of a childrens or kids genre on the main page.
The moderators will verify. When you post your book, if the genres have changed, just link to the post in this thread in which it was verified and you'll be good to go.
Because of the volume of verification requests in this thread, I will not be trying to compile any sort of master lists. If the book you are using does not have the required genre at the time of posting, but has been verified in this thread, please link to the post in which it was verified in your completed task posting. If the book you are posting still has the genre on the main page, there is no need to refer to any posts here or in other help threads - if it's there on the main page, you're all set.
