Who done it?: A Guide to Detective, Mystery, and Suspense Fiction | 
I think this is my #CloakAndDaggerChristmas list! I'm a slow reader so this is rather ambitious 😅
Golden Age+amateur sleuth: Kitchin or Berkeley (or ideally both if I am attempt to be good & not cheat & combine prompts 🧐)
Translated/set in a different country: Bandyopadhyay, Indian/Bengali
Team/duo: Hammett
Victorian: Collins
Village: Bellairs
Mystery TV show: My current fave, Rosemary & Thyme (British mystery series)

merelybookish These look great! And ambitious! I loved Collins when I read him as an undergrad (but avoided an actual Victorian mystery myself.) I love the title of Death of a Busybody. (I imagine many people wanted that person dead. 😛) Even if we don't read any of these books, it has been fun making the list. Here's to death at Xmas! 😄 2y
Cathythoughts Great post ! These look good 👍🏻❤️ 2y

Angitron This is the first time I‘ve seen someone mention Rosemary & Thyme!! Also a favorite of mine! 😊 2y
batsy @quietjenn I'm pretty sure I only heard of him because of something I read on crimereads.com 😆 They're responsible for my TBR expanding to infinity! 2y
batsy @LeahBergen I'm excited! 😁 2y
batsy @Angitron Yay! Nice to meet another fan 😊 Love the cosy elements of the show mixed with the gardening theme and two sharp female characters. 2y
