New on my blog. What is behind the series of accidents which befall the newly-wealthy members of the 'Novem Syndicate'? Sir Clinton Driffield mystery #7 J. J. Connington - 'The Sweepstake Murders' (1931) witnesstothecrime.wordpress.com/2026/02/15/j-j…

This weeks theme is something a child would use... here are a couple of suggestions, both classic Collins Crime Club #MurderEveryMonday @ArmchairSleuth

@ArmchairSleuth I haven't read the Verner yet but Wills is a little underrated IMHO. This is one of the early series featuring Boscobel. Gallileo were planning to publish some of his books but it seems to have gone quiet on that front unfortunately.

Both covers look very intriguing. Do you know if they are good reads? #MurderEveryMonday

Two titles for this week.. #MurderEveryMonday @ArmchairSleuth

New on my blog.. A review of the fifth short story collection to feature medico-legal expert Dr John Thorndyke. R. Austin Freeman - 'The Puzzle Lock' (1925) witnesstothecrime.wordpress.com/2026/02/01/r-a…
