pickI really enjoyed this Inspector Grant mystery -- the final one that Josephine Tey had written. Grant stumbles upon a murder while travelling to the Scotland Highlands for a much-needed vacation.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!

Here are my choices for #CloakandDaggerChristmas . In all honesty, I think I‘ll only manage one, but we‘ll see!
🕵🏼♂️Tey = Golden Age Mystery
🕵🏼♂️James = Set in a Different Country
🕵🏼♂️Maron = Start of a New Series
🕵🏼♂️Swanson = Amateur Detective (though I think maybe this is a cheat and a thriller, not detective novel...
They were all wrong about hell, he thought. Hell wasn't a nice cosy place where you fried. Hell was a great cold echoing cave where there was neither past nor future; a black, echoing desolation. Hell was concentrated essence of a winter morning after a sleepless night of self-distaste.
pickThis was my first by Josephine Tey and probably won't be the last. I'm always on the lookout for good vintage mysteries and this was excellent. Lovely descriptions of Scotland (Tey clearly wasn't a devotee of independence though!) and a slow-burn story that's all about the puzzle. Photo is of the singing sands I visited last weekend in Kentra Bay, Ardnamurchan.
Thank you so much, @Sarah83 for the wonderful book mail! A gorgeous #FolioSociety edition of a Josephine Tey novel, postcards, a bookmark, and a bunch of new fruit teas to try. I love the Jane Austen address book to keep all my Litsy addresses in (what a great idea)!
You‘ve made my day ❤️❤️ (and it didn‘t take 3 months to arrive like last time 😂😂).
Here's my attempt at a #bookrainbow. This was harder than I thought it would be! #somethingforsept #septphotochallenge #day16
