Murder Underground

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. 😬

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

rabbitprincess Love this series! My favourite is

Death of an Airman: A British Library Crime Classic

LeahBergen @batsy I just bought it last week (in Winnipeg 😄). 7y

LeahBergen @kspenmoll 😂 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

Mystery in White

drokka I've finally opened the box with the one I have. It's Murder of a Lady. Like you, I need more 😁

Murder of a Lady

LeahBergen @drokka That one looks good! And I just found another one in a used bookshop this weekend 👍🏻

The Z Murders: A British Library Crime Classic

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
