Tried to post a third (An English Murder, also by Cyril Hare), but I reviewed it in the same post as With a Bare Bodkin and it would not take the same link twice. It doesn't matter, I am not doing this for a prize and I may have more than the eight for that category anyway. Just thought I would note that. If I include that mystery in another post somewhere, maybe I will use that link.
