I think this is my #CloakAndDaggerChristmas list! I'm a slow reader so this is rather ambitious 😅
Golden Age+amateur sleuth: Kitchin or Berkeley (or ideally both if I am attempt to be good & not cheat & combine prompts 🧐)
Translated/set in a different country: Bandyopadhyay, Indian/Bengali
Team/duo: Hammett
Victorian: Collins
Village: Bellairs
Mystery TV show: My current fave, Rosemary & Thyme (British mystery series)

merelybookish These look great! And ambitious! I loved Collins when I read him as an undergrad (but avoided an actual Victorian mystery myself.) I love the title of Death of a Busybody. (I imagine many people wanted that person dead. 😛) Even if we don't read any of these books, it has been fun making the list. Here's to death at Xmas! 😄 3y
Cathythoughts Great post ! These look good 👍🏻❤️ 3y

quietjenn Oh, I don't know Crime at Christmas and have never read Kitchin. Might have to add that to my list of possibilities! 3y
LeahBergen Ooo, these all look fun! 3y
Angitron This is the first time I‘ve seen someone mention Rosemary & Thyme!! Also a favorite of mine! 😊 3y
batsy @quietjenn I'm pretty sure I only heard of him because of something I read on crimereads.com 😆 They're responsible for my TBR expanding to infinity! 3y
batsy @LeahBergen I'm excited! 😁 3y
batsy @Angitron Yay! Nice to meet another fan 😊 Love the cosy elements of the show mixed with the gardening theme and two sharp female characters. 3y
Jee_HookedOnBookz @batsy 🙌💕 3y
