I'll renominate Bedford Square by Anne Perry

Ooh, that sounds good!

I am going to nominate the first Bruce Alexander book, Blind Justice.

I've never seen one of those before -- I'm tempted to vote for MHM just to see what Jean-Luke would do, but I don't care enough for Gideon Fell to buy it, so I won't.

I used to go over to dance at Bryn Mawr when I was living near Media. (That was before they built the Blue Route so it was a nice back roads drive.)
