Inspired by Maxine's, Bernadette's, and Dorte's attempts to discover patterns in the titles of their "books in the wings", here is a sample of what's on my shelves..Actually it didn't turn about to be as easy as I thought it would be.

ReplyDeleteI believe a set consists of six games. And the first person to win a (I'll say) three out of five sets (or whatever) wins the match?
ReplyDeleteHi Kerrie, Picked up your reference to one of my novels, The Suffocating Sea. I like the classifications! As all my Inspector Horton novels are set against the backdrop of the sea, as 'marine mysteries,' I need to have something nautical in each title. Have had difficulty with the title of the one I am currently writing, but think I've cracked it now! I enjoy reading crime fiction (as well as writing it) and am just re-reading all of Dorothy L Sayers novels.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes.
Thanks for dropping by Pauline. I've now reviewed THE SUFFOCATING SEA here
