Thanks to Matthieu Esbrat for creating this and to Xavier At the Villa Rose and Roberta at Books to the Ceiling for passing it on.
These are crime fiction writers, female, from the 19th century to now. I recognise about 6 of them :-(
Why MYSTERIES? Because that is the genre I read.
Why PARADISE? Because that is where I live.
Among other things, this blog, the result of a 2008 New Year's resolution,
will act as a record of books that I've read, and random thoughts.

Thanks for sharing this, Kerrie. I didn't recognise very many of them, myself (7 :-( ).
ReplyDeleteI recognized 5 by name, but many more by face but couldn't put a name to them.
ReplyDeleteWill try again.
Is there a list of answers?
I feel like I ought to know many more of them than I'm sure of. Probably know almost all the names - or maybe. I counted 8 that I'm pretty sure of.
ReplyDeleteRoberta's page has a link to her "answer" sheet of the 26 she has recognised
ReplyDeleteIf Roberta knew 26, she should be awarded an honorary doctorate in Crime Fiction History, with a specialty in women authors. Very impressive!
