#MurderEveryMonday Crime fiction title with an evaluative adjective
When Kate reminded us of this week’s #MurderEveryMonday theme, my first thought was for H. R. F. Keating because I had noticed a pattern in some of his books:
- The Bad Detective
- The Good Detective
- The Soft Detective
- The Rich Detective
These are standalone’s and I never read anything by Keating, but I’m curious about his writing. He was president of the Detection Club between 1985 and 2000. I do have two related books in my immediate TBR: Agatha Christie: First Lady of Crime, essays edited by him, and The Verdict of Us All – edited by Peter Lovesey, a collection of short stories by The Detection Club’s members in honour of Keating’s 80th birthday, which include before each work a memory or contact these writers had of H.R.F. Keating.

For today's #MurderEveryMonday (facial hair)
- More or less at the same time #colecçãovampiro there was another collection of crime fiction in Portugal called #ColecçãoXIS and now and then they would published some numbers as anthologies of short stories
- While searching for moustaches I found this three books with similar covers. It seems Biggers books were made into movies with Warner Oland as Charlie Chan (depicted in the covers)
- Finally, a facsimile of a Poirot (because that's the first I thought of when knowing about today's theme) 😃
