Murder Every Monday: The Case of the Missing Monday, Take Two

 


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/or titles  from books we own that match the prompts she posts in advance (see link).

My intention is to also post about them here on the blog. Periodically, I manage to miss Monday and post on some other day. Last week, I managed to miss posting at all. So...for your viewing pleasure I bring you both this week's prompt: Titles with theft, burglary, etc in them as well as last week's prompt: Titles with a type of terrain.
