Murder Every Monday: You Rang, Sir?

 


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 Covers &/or Titles with a servant (butler, maid, gardner, etc.). I managed to find a few obscure positions.

Why Shoot a Butler? ~Georgette Heyer
The Affair of the Fainting Butler ~Clifford Knight
Maid to Murder ~Roy Vickers


In the Teeth of the Evidence ~Dorothy L. Sayers
Servant's Problem ~Veronica Parker Johns
A Tasty Way to Die ~Janet Laurence

Jeeves & the King of Clubs ~Ben Schott (the ultimate gentleman's gentleman)
The Ghose & Mrs. Jeffries ~Emily Brightwell (housekeeper)
Murder Is Served ~Frances & Richard Lockridge

Kill the Butler! ~Michael Kenyon
The Murder of Sir Edmund Godfrey ~John Dickson Carr (sedan chair bearers!)

Too Many Cooks ~Rex Stout
Busman's Honeymoon ~Dorothy L. Sayers (gardener!)
Patrick Butler for the Defense ~John Dickson Carr

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!
