"A crime fiction cover which depicts a tool you might find a toolbox/garage or garden shed."
These are bound to be useful.

If I had a garden shed, both these implements would be stored therein - the lantern would help me find the scythe/sickle/sharpcuttything,isn't that right, @deanstpress.bsky.social ? #MurderEveryMonday #Reading #Booksky

This week's #MurderEveryMonday theme is "Crime fiction which is in an omnibus edition" - so I've used deductive skills of which Hastings and Watson would be proud and concluded that this one just might qualify. #Reading #Mystery #Booksky

Book cover of Power on the Scent by Henrietta Clandon. On a pale sage green background,  the title and 'a golden age mystery' are shown printed on waving red banners attached to a pair of knitting needles, which are piercing a ball of wool with a pair of hands making a shadow image of a face.

It’s #MurderEveryMonday! 🔪 This week’s theme is all about the sense of smell. 👃
I’m going with Power on the Scent by Henrietta Clandon aka John Haslette, Anthony Lang, John Mowbray, Walter Proudfoot and George Varney. There’s something about that title that just lingers...

#MurderEveryMonday Title with a word to do with smell: Sad Cypress For today's #MurderEveryMonday I had to share Sad Cypress by Agatha Christie - cypresses have scent. It's not very well known, but it's one of my favorite reads. I also love the David Suchet TV series' episode with Elisabeth Dermot Walsh as Elinor Carlisle. The book starts with Elinor Carlisle in court, accused of murder. We go back in time through Elinor perspective first to know the context, the second part of the book sees Poirot entering the scene, asked by his friend Doctor Peter Lord - is this a nod to Sayers' Lord Peter?

#MurderEveryMonday cover with “something a baby or child would use” The centre of Portugal has been devastated by storms and flooding. More than a week later, we still have thousands of people without electricity. Our region didn't suffer as much as the centre, but we are all bracing ourselves for new storms in the next days. Still, I wanted to share a cover for today's #MurderEveryMonday, "cover depicting something a baby or child would use"

#MurderEveryMonday A special edition Today's #MurderEveryMonday is a title with a word that starts with the letter Q. I'm hoping I can use the title in Portuguese for this one, because it is the perfect excuse to tell you about a special edition, that is not much known. The book chosen is The Floating Admiral, which title was translated to Portuguese as Quem Matou o Almirante?

It's Monday here now and this week's #MurderEveryMonday is "set in Scandinavia" so ofc this was the first one I thought of. Murders by the truckload AND a mystery: Bart Simpson wondered how any story where everybody dies could be so boring. 😆 #Reading #Booksky
