I have now completed the whole of the gold bingo grid =)
The last remaining books I needed were:

Place name in title: Passenger to Frankfurt (alas the worst Christie novel I have ever read)

Size in the title: Five little Pigs by Christie

Borrowed book: Death in the Clouds by Christie

Kate said...

Sorry just realised that Passenger to Frankfurt was published after 1960 (drat lol).
Does any one have any good recommendations for novels with place titles in them?

Bev Hankins said...

Well, Kate...I read Murder at the Villa Rose by A.E.W. Mason for "Place." I don't know how easy it would be to get hold of.

Kate said...

Would Murder in Mesopotamia count as a place? I know it's an anachronistic term, but technically it was counted as a place in the past.

Bev Hankins said...

Kate: Yes, indeed. Mesopotamia is definitely a place.

Kate said...

Oh great =) I have completed my gold bingo grid then

Kate keep your eyes on the blog at the end of the year for final wrap-up postings and prize opportunities!
