It's been a bit of a problem finding print copies of her books, but the new DSP editions will take care of that, at least for the non Silver books.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782561487396697870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-88229385694757577682017-03-30T02:09:01.706-05:002017-03-30T02:09:01.706-05:00I had an enormous e-binge on her non-Miss Silvers ...I had an enormous e-binge on her non-Miss Silvers last year and read ?most of them -- such a satisfactory cozy time.

It seems to me that most of her stories end with the solving of the crime, and sometimes the reunion of a couple separated by the case. She would certainly be the perfect witness!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782561487396697870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-56168232439647425842017-03-19T17:35:28.423-05:002017-03-19T17:35:28.423-05:00I am so pleased that you thought well of this book...I am so pleased that you thought well of this book too. I half-expected a cameo appearance Miss Silver, and thought she could have been sitting up in the court's public gallery, knitting away.<br /><br />There's nothing like 'Murder by the Book' here, but you have made me think of 'Murder One' in Charing Cross Road where I used to pick up US crime novels that weren't published over here in my lunch breaks.Jane @ Beyond Eden Rockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14568410017337283636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-92097438372875438412017-03-19T06:37:51.387-05:002017-03-19T06:37:51.387-05:00I was counting up the other day how many books I&#...I was counting up the other day how many books I've bought there - and not just mysteries. I got a lot of Georgette Heyer and PG Wodehouse, and even a first edition of Dorothy Dunnett's King Hereafter, when it was out of print. It's great for browsing, but deadly for budgets!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782561487396697870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203893324932668537.post-60636806790005015102017-03-18T19:09:03.183-05:002017-03-18T19:09:03.183-05:00I just looked up Murder by the Book since you have...I just looked up Murder by the Book since you have mentioned it several times. Oh my. I wish I had a book store like that near me. I know I can order things online but it is not anywhere near as satisfying as just browsing. <br /><br />I am going to keep my eye out for more Patricia Wentworth mysteries. I really did enjoy Who Pays the Piper?Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07878149675832228998noreply@blogger.com
