The Affair of the Bloodstained Egg Cozy, by James Anderson
Very well done sort of take-off on classic golden-era locked door country house murder mysteries, rather like G.M. Malliet's more recent takes on the genre. Fun, clever, fast- I liked it very much, although the original (not shown) lurid 1970's cover was terrible.
This is a log of what books I've been reading and movies I've been watching. Comments are welcome!
One explanation seems necessary - the phrase "Life-Changing Fiction" is not in any way an endorsement of those books- in fact, I think those books are Awful, and want that to be clear. "Life-Changing Fiction", as a phrase, has been trademarked, absurdly, by the "Christian fiction" writer Karen Kingsbury, and that is Just Not Right. Aside from being ridiculous, it just sheds light on the hypocrisy of the writer. What would Jesus copyright?
