Murder Every Monday: Puzzling Developments

 



Kate at Cross Examining Crime hosts a fun mystery cover game on Instagram called Murder Every Monday. Our assignment, should we choose to accept it, is to display book covers and titles from books you own that meet prompts which she posts well in advance (see link). 

 
Today's theme is a crossword on the cover. I had way fewer of these than I have of some of the items. At first, I didn't think I had any. Several books that I own that have words indicative of crosswords (from E. R. Punshon's Crossword Mystery to Write Murder Down by Richard Lockridge) didn't have appropriate images on them. Here's what I came up with...

Close Quarters ~Michael Gilbert
The Marlow Murder Club ~Robert Thorogood
The Seventh Crossword ~Herbert Resnicow

A Six-Letter Word for Death ~Patricia Moyes
The Clue in the Crossword Cipher ~Carolyn Keene
Write Me a Murder ~Amanda Carter
