I enjoyed this challenge too. I don't normally take much notice of the book covers, unless I think they're particularly beautiful, or off-putting, so it added an extra element I thought. And I enjoyed the vintage mysteries. I've read some of your books, but Miss Pym Disposes is the only one we have in common for this challenge.
I really think this challenge sounds like so much fun. And I thank you again for introducing me to JT.
Great job, Cath! Thanks for joining me in my mystery challenges.
Margaret: It was huge fun wasn't it? Mainly because the vintage mysteries I read were so good but also it was so much fun studying the covers to find the right article.
Nan: It was such a lot of fun. My pleasure, I'm only sorry that I have just one of her books left to read.
Bev: Thankyou! My pleasure.
