Mystery Lover...but overall a very eclectic reader. Will read everything from the classics to historical fiction. Biography to essays. Not into horror or much into YA. If you would like me to review a book, then please see my stated review policy BEFORE emailing me. Please Note: This is a book blog. It is not a platform for advertising. Please do NOT contact me to ask that I promote your NON-book websites or products. Thank you.
If anyone by the name "Luigi Calloway" (or other name) contacts you about the Mount TBR challenge (or any other challenge on this blog) requesting money for participation, then please know that there will NEVER be a reason for anyone to have to pay for participation in any way for any of my challenges. This person does NOT represent me or anything associated with my blog. I DO NOT endorse anything that he claims. A message to Luigi: Please cease and desist contacting authors (or anyone) in my name or claiming to represent my reading challenge/s. You absolutely DO NOT.

Hi all,
Been a hectic few months so haven't had the time to keep my completed squares up to date. But here the squares I've completed since I last posted:
Locked Room or Impossible Crime: The Layton Court Mystery by Anthony Berekley (1925)
Medical Mystery: Malice Aforethought (1931) by Frances Iles
TBR First Lines: More Work for the Undertaker (1949) by Margery Allingham
Set in the Entertainment World = The Silent Pool (1956) by Patricia Wentworth
Book been made into a movie or TV Show = Scales of Justice (1955) by Ngaio Marsh which was made into a TV series in the early 1990s called the Inspector Alleyn Mysteries, where Patrick Malahide plays Inspector Alleyn.
Academic Mystery = Laurels are Poison (1942) by Gladys Mitchell
Book with a lawyer, courtroom, judge etc. = Trial and Error (1937) by Anthony Berekley
Book outside of comfort zone = The Case of the Buried Clock (1943) by Eric Stanley Gardner
Involves Clergy or Religion = A Gentle Murder (1951) by Dorothy Salisbury Davis - Good inverted mystery, rather limp and rushed ending though.
Time/Day/Month in the title = Drink to Yesterday (1940 UK) by Manning Coles
Book published under more than one title = Spinsters in Jeopardy (1954) by Ngaio Marsh which was published as The Bride of Death in the USA. Bit of a disappointing novel.
Doing great, Kate!
