Mehso-so

This is more of a will-they-get-away-with-it-dunnit than a whodunnit. I don‘t object to those, but it took forever for the murder to happen, and I found the company setting rather dull.

The library ordered the six Freeman Wills Crofts novels that have been reprinted this year by the Collins Crime Club. Three of the six came in today 😅

rabbitprincess @erzascarletbookgasm They‘re Collins Crime Club reprints. Dare I hope for more reprints of such authors? @batsy They are so cheerful! At least the colours; French looks pretty serious 😂 4y
