Thanks a lot, Carol, for adding Twelfth Night Murders. It's my first and favourite of Ryland's books that I have read. I added the source for the second book as I thought it might be acceptable, since it's a non-seller site. However, if GR doesn't allow it then it definitely cannot be added to the data-base.

Thanks once again for all the work you are putting in. Much appreciated.

Hello Carol

Plz add these two books, both by Clive Ryland

Title: The Twelfth Night Murders

Thanks Carol. I read this a few years back and don't remember the exact plot. Will try to recall it.
