What about Ngaio Marsh? If Agatha Christie is up your alley, I bet Dame Marsh is, too..
LOVE her. Especially Brer Fox. Roderick's a bit of a pill now and then. I do like how she pulls bits of theater into each story.happyjacks said:What about Ngaio Marsh? If Agatha Christie is up your alley, I bet Dame Marsh is, too.
Wow. What all gets ironed? Do most of the innmates iron bed linens? Sheets AND pillow cases?.
All my 100% cotton sheets and pillowcases get awful creases. I iron all the pillowcases and the top edge and side edges of the sheets. It's why I prefer poly-cotton blends.charlie may said:Wow. What all gets ironed? Do most of the innmates iron bed linens? Sheets AND pillow cases?

Also Josephine Tey. But she doesn't have many books.

I haven't heard of her. Will have to look her up. Though to be honest, I don't read fiction very much anymore. Can't seem to get my head out of this world to get lost in a book the way I used to.Madeleine said:Also Josephine Tey. But she doesn't have many books.
I iron my pillowcases, a third of my flat sheets (the part that gets folded over), pillow shams and my duvet covers. I use a pressing board from Kalorik which gives me a 22" by 8" surface area. Once I get started, I get into the rhythm and I just press away!!Wow. What all gets ironed? Do most of the innmates iron bed linens? Sheets AND pillow cases?.

I think the most popular one is The Daughter of Time. The Singing Sands is also good. I guess there are more than I thought so I have to see if I can find them. A few other mystery authors have paid tribute to The Daughter of Time by having their detectives read the book while laid up in the hospital.happyjacks said:I haven't heard of her.

I just put the duvets on the beds. The covers are a little wrinkly and it bothers me. But not enough to take them all off and re-iron. Even to listen to my mystery story!
