  1. #MurderEveryMonday Crime fiction cover with a village on

    For today’s #MurderEveryMonday I’m sharing a cover of a book I want to read, Murder before Evensong, the first in the Canon Clement series, and a book I’ve read before (one of my 2023 favorite reads). Serpents in Eden is a short story collection with both known crime fiction authors and others less known, with extra points for the introduction by Martin Edwards. By the way, if you want to read the 1948 article The Guilty Vicarage – Notes on the detective story, by an addict by W. H. Auden, you can do so here.

  2. #SundayShelfie My small collection of #BritishLibraryCrimeClassics with the insightful introductions by Martin Edwards and another shelf with some of my Austen & Austen related books.

    (Also, an Agatha Christie related book out of place. How did it get there?! 😂)

  3. This is only my second #MargotBennett book. Absolutely loved The Man Who Didn’t Fly from #BritishLibraryCrimeClassics. Was completely gripped and can see why she had such a stellar screenwriting career. However, I wish I hadn’t read that there is a film version with William Shatner in it doing a British accent as I could not stop thinking about this while reading this ingenious and brilliantly character driven book. #bookstadon #crimefiction

  4. Today I got my first book from the British Library Crime Classic subscription service. I've been buying almost all these anyway, so a subscription service which includes freebies sounds like the best ever deal. This month, a short story special and a bookmark (I'm such a sucker for bookmarks). Appropriately (given my nationality), it's a collection of short mystery stories from Wales: the collection is called Crimes of Cymru.
