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.

Challenge Complete: British Crime Classics
The Book Decoder gave me another mystery challenge to join this year with her British Crime Classics Challenge: Read classic British mysteries (dates--late 1800s through mid-1900s). We were tasked with posting at least twice a month on such crime classics. I somehow managed to read mostly American mysteries in February, but I had so many in January (and a few other months) I'm hoping Rekha will give me a pass....

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!
I love Lord Peter Wimsley, but you have no Albert Campion novels listed, or no Sherlock Holmes??? (GASP!)
ReplyDeleteSean: I've read both Campion and Holmes (Holmes several times since discovering him about 40 years ago). There are reviews of some of each in my "Reviews by Author" section.
ReplyDeleteHow do I find the "Reviews by Author" section?
ReplyDeleteSean: at the top of my blog there are clickable links listed ("Home", "Review Policy & Rating System," "TBR List (Owned)," etc. "Reviews by Author" is there as well.
