Book cover of Brian Flynn's Such Bright Disguises featuring a couple dancing in 1930's evening dress.
Book cover for Brian Flynn's The Sharp Quillet featuring a coloured target with three darts stuck in it.
It's #MurderEveryMonday and this week's theme is a crime fiction title with a word to do with intelligence e.g. clever, brilliant, astute, shrewd, smart etc. Our first thought was, of course, the brilliant Brian Flynn! 🥰

My goofy face showing off my knitted hat and mittens with their pattern of a Penguin classic crime book, but with my name and book title.
mittens and a wool hat that are meant to look like a Penguin classic crime book, but with Christa Bakker as the author, and Death by Naked Ladies as the title.
The Penguin Classic Crime book as it would have looked with Christa Bakker as the author and Death by Naked Ladies as the title.

A page from Roger Hargreaves & Agatha Christie's Little Miss Marple shows a round, purple character in a yellow hat on grey curls knitting a long, orange scarf and looking very deductive.
Actual footage of me plotting.
No, of course this is from the brilliant Little Miss Marple: Muddle at the Vicarage. We all need something to aim for.

Nice charity shop pick up. A first edition of 'Relative to Poison' by E.C.R. Lorac (Collins Crime Club, 1947). Quite a rare one it would seem 🙂

A good range of summertime crime stories with a nice selection of investigators. These certainly kept my attention and the solutions were very satisfying. It was also good to find out a bit more about each author. Fascinating stuff. #classiccrime #shortstories #bookreview

Been after this one a while. 'Tour De Force' by Christianna Brand (1955) featuring Inspector Cockrill, memorably played by Alistair Simm in the 1946 film 'Green for Danger'. So nice to see this back in print thanks to @britishlibrary.bsky.social
