Starting Bush's "The Case of the Missing Men", book 11/15 for my #DeanStreetDecember & laughing at myself: I DID "leap to an unwarranted conclusion based on these initials" not the ACTUAL, REAL writer normal readers would think of - I thought of Albert Campion🤦♂️😆🤦♂️ #AmReading#ebooks#Kobo#GoldenAgeMysteries@bookstodon
Reading Marsh as a teen, NZ's low profile in her novels irked me, as it left me feeling she was not fond of her birthplace. Reading her shorts atm, NZ is EVERYWHERE, even reminding me of details I'd forgotten - such as calling Palmerston "Palmerston South". This one was named after a bird I tooted about last week. The lady w/ the mispronounced Māori name includes ITS Māori name. Tino pai! #AmReading@bookstodon#books#ebooks#GoldenAgeMysteries#Aotearoa
In her description of the 'arrival' of Alleyn, Ngaio (the g is NOT silent, folks) Marsh unintentionally highlights why I love Allingham's Campion. For him, tempus really did fugit, at more or less real pace. #AmReading#Aotearoa#GoldenAgeMysteries@bookstodon#ebooks
