Murder by Death

I read cozy and historical mysteries, a bit of Paranormal/UF, and to mix it up, I read science and gardening books on occasion.

Reading progress update: I've read 131 out of 288 pages.

The Story of Classic Crime in 100 Books - Martin Edwards

I'm through the first 10 chapters and there are a few titles I'm definitely going to hunt down, including (but not limited to), Case for Three Detectives by Leo Bruce, and Murder in Black and White by Evelyn Elder.  The former because I love humour and the latter because the format intrigues me, with the chance to solve the mystery myself.

 

Edwards writing stopped tripping me up; either it has smoothed out, or, and this is more likely, I just got used to it.  But his chapter openings cram so many titles and authors together, I often lose track of who's who and what's what.  Thank god for indices.
