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.

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!
Hi all,
ReplyDeleteBeen 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!
