6 posts | 4 read | 12 to read
If you were suddenly to be found murdered, would your friends have theories about who had done the deed? Well, when the wealthy and unpleasant Miss Pongleton meets her end on the stairs of Belsize Park underground station in Murder Underground, her housematesthough not particularly grievedhave plenty of guesses at the identity of her killer. While theyre merely airing theories, events arise that unexpectedly enable several of them, including Tuppy the terrier, to put them to the test. This novel from the golden age of British crime fiction is sure to puzzle and charm fans of Dorothy L. Sayers, Agatha Christie, and Josephine Tey.

Set in central London during the Golden Age of Murder Mystery. I used to work near where it is set and the locations are very genuine and vivid. They really make this story.

I love to #turnbacktime and indulge in a Golden Age murder mystery or a witty Regency romance. #LiteraryLuck

Well, someone has to be #guilty.

I love the cover art for all of the titles in the British Library Crime Classics series. ❤️ This is only my second one and I'm feeling the need for MORE. 😬

LauraBrook I bought one, stared at the cover for awhile, and now I have about a dozen. 😲 7y

HKGirl I love the cover art too! I might buy them just for that! 😍 7y
AlaMich Are these reprints of old titles or are they new books? It's not clear to me. They look neat 😊 7y
LeahBergen @LauraBrook 😂😂 That made me laugh! 7y
LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads And there's even a terrier in this one that finds some clues! How's THAT for cute? 😆 7y
LeahBergen @ValerieAndBooks Look it up! 😂 7y
LeahBergen @HKGirl Exactly! I am weak. 😂 7y
LeahBergen @AlaMich They are reprints of forgotten British mysteries, mainly from the 1930s. 👍🏻 7y
rubyslippersreads @LeahBergen I'm doomed. 😂 7y
LauraBeth Try not to have any dreams about @shawnmooney tonight! 😂 7y
LeahBergen @LauraBeth I shan't listen to him when I'm in bed anymore. 😂 7y
batsy Yes! Love those covers. I'm afraid to even buy one because the need is too great 😁 If you've read it did you enjoy the story? 7y
kspenmoll Love those covers too. Saw some in a bookstore north of me, but resisted. Don't ask me how except maybe I had a huge stack already?!!! 7y
elkeOriginal This cover is perfection. Fact. 7y
LeahBergen @batsy I just bought it last week (in Winnipeg 😄). 7y
LeahBergen @elkeo Isn't it? 7y
LeahBergen @rabbitprincess That one sounds good! 7y
drokka I wish I could afford them all. They really are fantastic editions. I can't recall which one I have though. I'm relatively certain it's not this title. I want to say it's a house in the Highlands on the cover. 7y
LeahBergen @drokka I definitely need more. The only other one I've read is 7y
drokka I've finally opened the box with the one I have. It's Murder of a Lady. Like you, I need more 😁 7y
LeahBergen @drokka That one looks good! And I just found another one in a used bookshop this weekend 👍🏻 7y
drokka Excellent find! 🙌 I scoured the mystery section at Indigo, but failed to find another of the British Library offerings. The search continues. 😁 7y

#FeistyFeb Day 25 - International Crime

The closest my crime reading gets to being "international" is that it's British. I'm especially keen on the British Library Crime Classics series, and found Mavis Doriel Hay to be a wonderful discovery!

Currently reading. No only is it my first British Library Crime Classic, but my first crime novel ever. I'm about halfway through, and getting swept up in figuring out the whodunnit!

Reviewsbylola Those look like they would be a lot of fun to collect! 8y
BooksForYears @Reviewsbylola They do, and there are so many! 8y
