  1. 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.

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.

If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
