For the Mystery Lovers

 Shortly before we left to care for our furry friend last month, Bill was starting a book by Elizabeth George. There's always that page where they list the author's previous work and a title caught his eye. He knew it was a book for me and went looking for it online. He found a copy but there wouldn't be enough time for it to get to us before we left, so he bookmarked it and checked again when we got home. It was still there. He ordered it and it arrived today.
I could not be more thrilled. This is definitely my kind of book. Edited by Elizabeth George, it contains stories from classic mystery authors like Dorothy L. Sayers, Christianna Brand, and Ngaio Marsh as well as more contemporary authors. I recognize some of the newer authors from BorrowBox so if I like the stories in here, I'll try out some of the audiobooks of their novels. Mysteries, women authors, short stories--love this book from so many different directions! I can't wait to read it but I have to have some willpower because I have reading with time limits to do at the moment. So many books, so little time.

I'm posting this now because I know some of you are mystery fans like I am and in case you haven't already read it, it's one you might like to look out for. If you have read it, I'd love to know what you thought of it. Whatever you're reading at the moment, hope it's excellent!
