The Wintringham Mystery | 
I'm in the mood for a mystery (and working through my "from the library" stack).
pickAt an old estate being headed by a cranky rich woman, a woman goes missing from a closed room with 11 people in it. How? Cupboards, sofas, priest holes and ice houses all play a part. The amateur detective is a bankrupt, bon vivant who becomes involved because he has had to take a job at the estate as a footman. This is a pleasing tangle of theft and romance and stock manipulation. See if you can solve what Agatha Christie could not.
pickA serviceable Golden Age mystery. It rattled along nicely and I was entertained. A good library borrow.
I‘m willing the snow to melt while I enjoy this classic murder mystery. Yet another cozy Saturday with tea, and a blanket. Where art thou, Spring? 🌿❄️

Totally influenced by @LeahBergen with this recent purchase. Which maybe that should be Litsy hashtag? 😉The mention that this one stumped Agatha Christie completely piqued my interest. I‘m so glad you shared this one, Leah. I‘m really looking forward to reading it.
pickThis was a fun satisfying romp of a mystery! Quick listen.
In which I show off a few of the books I received for Christmas: Part Two.
A republished country house mystery from 1927, famous for having stumped Agatha Christie.
pickThis Golden Age mystery was originally serialised in the papers; a mystery so baffling that even Agatha Christie couldn't solve it. Well, neither could I 😂 This was a jolly good lark—witty dialogue, hijinks, winter in a country house with a bunch of characters thrown together, an amateur sleuth, an intimidating lady of the house, séances gone wrong, hidden passageways, romance, & even shenanigans in the world of finance. Fluffy but satisfying.
