The Case of the Howling Dog by Erle Stanley Gardner

Narrated by: Alexander Cendese I am pleased to admit that I have had no problems continuing in my journey of available Perry Mason books on my Kindle Unlimited account. The fun continues in this one. Mason is riding high on a victory when the oddest man comes in. He is either mad or in the grips…

Dead Men Don’t Ski (Inspector Henry Tibbett Mystery #1) by Patricia Moyes

This is yet another book which my library luckily had in the older non-Christie category. They do not have the rest in order but given the abrupt introduction of our investigator Henry Tibbett, I do not think it should matter if I read it out of order. As I read more books by older women…

A Fatal Finale by Kathleen Marple Kalb

While playing with it prior to the writing of this post, I realised it may have the answer to some of the presentation I struggled to achieve previously! As always hindsight…

The Bastard Is Dead by D’Arcy Kavanagh

I must say that I was not very comfortable with the title of the book and almost did not request it. The storyline promised something different, so I overcame my initial apprehension and picked it up. I still do not like the title but the book, on the other hand, was quite entertaining. Paul Burke…
