pickAs a bookseller my specialism was Crime, with emphasis on Cosy & Golden Era, so the Brit Lib reprints have featured heavily in my TBR pile.
This collection of shorts stands up well. There are, as always, a couple that probably could have been left out but for the most part it's a great collection. Mystery short-form is not the easiest genre to write, and the quality of these stories is a reflection of the great names included.

This has been lurking on my bookshelves since I was working at Waterstones. Seems like a good time to read it!
pickMy second book by Josephine Tey. I enjoy her writing style. This story is built slowly and steadily around a girls physical training college. For me a ⭐️⭐️⭐️ for plot but a 4 star for writing...and Miss Pym is a lovely character❣️

#achristieswapisannounced — I‘m so so excited to see that boxes have started to arrive with their matches! There‘s five weeks left until opening day on September 30th but I‘m already excited! How are you all doing so far with the swap? I‘ve got bits and pieces but still waiting on a few others! #agathachristie #dameagathachristie #classiccrime
Eep! Book haul pt.2 courtesy of a friend. (Apparently the last gift is coming tomorrow!) I am so pleased that it‘s a facsimile edition! I used to have quite a few of these so I‘m happy my collection is regrowing. 🙏🤗 I‘ll be taking this with me tomorrow to help me through the day at the hospital. Anxiety is making me feel sick. #agathachristie #dameagathachristie #christieclub #agathachristieclub #classiccrime #classic
Back to finishing my reread. I fell asleep at halfway point last night so no finishing in one sitting but hopefully tonight! I‘m over halfway now sooooo. Perfect thing to relieve my stress and anxiety. I hope. #agathachristie #dameagathachristie #maidensofmurder #christieclub #agathachristieclub #classiccrime #classic
An hours reading and I‘m on chapter four. Hoping I can read the whole book tonight before I go to sleep but first, supper. I just realised I‘m super hungry. How bizarre. 😅 Updates as I go! I‘m really enjoying my reread so far. #currentread #agathachristie #dameagathachristie #agathachristieclub #maidensofmurder #christieclub #classiccrime #booklover #bookblogger
I am weak for Agatha Christie, and especially Poirot so please excuse me Nelly Dean while I have an affair with Murder on the Orient Express! It‘s a re-read but it was calling me so this is my evening booked. 🤷🏼♀️ #agathachristie #dameagathachristie #agathachristieclub #maidensofmurder #queenofcrime #christieclub #classic #classiccrime #booklover #bookblogger #bookish #bibliophile #bookishbath
pick15:25:05 / 25:00:00 for #25inFive And I‘ve finished two whole books now and DNFd one. This Christie was amazing and totally unpredictable! I was genuinely impressed with who done it. Never would have guessed! 5/5 star from me. A new favourite AC to pop up there. Some interesting and some detestable characters. #agathachristie #dameagathachristie #queenofcrime #murdermystery #classiccrime #bookblogger #booklover #bookish
