#MurderEveryMonday Cover with a series sleuth

For today’s #MurderEvryMonday I decided to start with Miss Marple, here with The Mirror Crack’d from Side to Side and A Crime is Announced (a favorite).

Then, we continue with Lord Peter Wimsey (also a favorite). The Portuguese edition being the short story collection Lord Peter Views the Body.

And finally a depiction of Father Brown.

It’s quite interesting to see how characters are depicted in book covers and how/if they differ from our own imagination.

If you want to know more about #MurderEveryMonday check Kate Jackson’s blog, see the next themes, and share your covers using the hashtag.

If he wasn't so damn American, Bing Crosby would have made a good cinematic Lord Peter Wimsey.

But it's still the damn cryingest shame in the world that Leslie Howard didn't get to play Lord Peter.

Extra comfort for election day #reading

Today is election day in Portugal and the future seems quite dark, asking for extra comfort and minimising anxiety.

I’ve been re-reading Dorothy L. Sayers’ Lord Peter, which is who one thinks is a good friend. The books are also funny and, most important,  things are cleared and end well (considering this is crime fiction :-)).

I started this re-read last year and after the first volume, read other books (I’m doing the same re-read with Austen and the Brontes), but after reading the second in the series, I can’t put them down and I’m starting the next as soon as I finish one. I’m now almost at the end of The unpleasantness at the Bellona Club and have the next in order of publication ready, which is Lord Peter views the body (12 short stories).

I’m also adding a spicy rooibos hot tea (it’s so cold here, both outside and inside!) and watching/listening one of the lovely Ali channels (go there and check both of her YouTube channels, I find her content so comforting!) while I’m reading.

🎧 Unnatural Death by Dorothy L. Sayers

Não me esqueci do aniversário da Dorothy L. Sayers no dia 13 de Junho, escolhendo estes 4 livros, mas o dia ficou complicado e acabei por não partilhar. Copywriter em publicidade, foi fundadora e presidente do The Detection Club, e é uma das minhas autoras de policiais favoritas.

The #TBR tin has spoken.
Next read for fiction:
Great tales of detection has 19 short stories selected and introduced by Dorothy L. Sayers. This collection was originally published in 1936, but it's still easy to find this more "recent" edition from Everyman.
Sayers edited several short stories collections and besides the interesting stories, she also wrote insightful introductions about the history and development of the genre.
I'll be using an Oxford related bookmark.
Next read for non-fiction:
Howdunit is a collection of essays about the genre and the work of detective, crime, thrillers authors. The articles are all from the past and present members of The Detection Club, organised and edited by Martin Edwards.
Bookmark from the Portuguese edition of The Floating Admiral, also a The Detection Club work.

Five Red Herrings (1975), last and best of the superb BBC TV adaptations of Dorothy L. Sayers’ Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries starring Ian Carmichael (the definitive screen Lord Peter). Fine writing, great performances by the whole cast. Terrific.

If you're curious about the Dorothy L. Sayers' essay "Gaudy Night" referred by Julian Symons in Bloody Murder, it's published in the essay collection The Art of the Mystery Story edited by Howard Haycraft.

Murder Must Advertise, from the BBC's 1972-75 Lord Peter Wimsey TV series based on Dorothy L. Sayers' novels, takes a remarkably jaundiced view of the world of the Bright Young Things.

Ian Carmichael was easily the best-ever screen Lord Peter.

How on earth had I not read this Dorothy L Sayers novel before? Loved the epistolary format and being in the position of detective in the case. Documents in the Case is a good read for #goldenagemystery fans like me. #dorothylsayers @bookstodon

I wanted to post about books! I love optimistic #scifi, and some #fantasy, #historicalFiction, and #detectiveFiction. Favourite authors that occur to me include: #IainMBanks, #BeckyChambers, #LordDunsany, #TedChiang, #AdrianTchaikovsky, #RobertHarris, #HGWells, #GKChesterton, #AgathaChristie, #DorothyLSayers, #MargaretWeiss and #TracyHickman, and of course #Tolkien, who I still maintain is under-appreciated. I’m keen to discover new favourites - especially if they can diversify the list a bit.
