Which English Mystery would you like to read with us during May? Please place your nomination here.

This time it's the turn of a golden age mystery by an English author, so nothing after around 1960 please!

Who would like to kick this off with a golden age mystery you'd like to read with us?

Werner | 258 comments Well... I rarely (if ever) nominate anything in this group; and I hadn't planned on joining in a group read this May. But, since this thread is getting off to kind of a slow start, I'll nominate The Case of the Late Pig by Margery Allingham. (This is the eighth novel in the Albert Campion series, but it's the only one I've read, back in the late 60s.) It's been on my to-reread shelf for quite a while; so if it wins the poll, I'll read it again with the group.

Thanks for starting us off, Werner. I remember trying that a while ago as the title is so intriguing!

Which golden age or classic English mystery would you like to read with us during May? It can be by one of the really big names, or someone we have readn't much by - your choice 😊

Where have you all gone? LOL! 😆🙋‍♀️👋 I know lots are reading mysteries as there are plenty of comments in the reviews and other threads.

Two more suggestions of golden age mysteries would be ideal please, or else I can make the poll up tomorrow from recent runners-up.
