For the gold card, I'm planning to use Ngaio Marsh's first-rate "Death in Ecstasy," from 1936. More for the silver card: any of the Harry Kemelman stories about Rabbi Small. Ellis Peters's first Brother Cadfael novel was 1977's "A Morbid Taste for Bones." Come to think of it, you could stretch a bit to include John Bude's "The Cornish Coast Murder" (1935) as much of the detecting is done by the vicar, Reverend Dodd.
