Clever offer...
By EDITOR on Thursday 3 July 2008, 00:36
I just received my copy of The Mysterious Bookshop Newsletter and noticed in there, a very clever offer from my friends at this great bookstore in NYC. For 50 USD they will select twelve titles for you from their collection of hardcover golden age mysteries, published mainly between the wars. If you are interested I recommend you contact Rob , rob (at) mysteriousbookshop.com. I'm sure they have some wonderful Christie (or Christie-esque) in between.

Recommended Reading: THE FINISHING TOUCH by ELLERY QUEEN
By EDITOR on Tuesday 9 January 2007, 21:46
Now and again we will try to review classic mysteries, by Agatha Christie or some of her colleagues. The first book is a mystery by Ellery Queen from 1958 called THE FINISHING TOUCH. Thoroughly enjoyable "snowy mansion" Queen mystery, set in 1929/1930, reminiscent of Queen's classic 30's novels, but some of the clues are rather obscure.
