Murder Every Monday: Pull Up a Chair!

 


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).

This week's prompt is covers with someone seated at a table or desk. So Pull Up a Chair and get cozy. Or...maybe you shouldn't considering that quite a number of these folks are dead or will be by book's end.
