ReplyDeleteI'm familiar with a couple of those and, if the others are as good, you've got some great reading to look forward to!
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty impressive list, Bev. I've read several of them, and I think you'll really enjoy the Sayers, Marsh and Stout - and the vintage Ellery Queen (Chinese Orange). I'm excited to see Lorac on your list - he seems to be completely out of print, with most of the used copies (via Amazon's sellers, at least) quite expensive. Please let me know where you found a copy!
ReplyDeleteLes:
ReplyDeleteI've got about five Lorac books. I've gotten some through our local library's book store (they sell discards as well as donations). We apparently have someone/s in the area who occasionally donates old (first edition!) mysteries. I've picked up a first Whose Body by Sayers as well as first editions by Helen Reilly.
The other Lorac books...I'm not sure. I think I may have gotten one at a used bookstore in my home town on one of my visits to see my parents.
