Murder Every Monday was created by Kate @ Crossexamining Crime and @ArmchairSleuth. Put simply, the plan is for readers to take a photo of a crime fiction book (novel or short story collection) which meets a given week’s theme criteria and to then share it online, using the hashtag #MurderEveryMonday.
This week's theme is:
Cover with a poison on
Here's a random selection of
covers with poison on, either in the image or in the title.
Have your read any of them? Which
cover(s) do you like most?
If you want to participate, here's
the list of the weekly theme.
You have some great choices there. The Poisoned Chocolates Case is one of my favourites by Berkeley.
ReplyDeleteThanks! The Poisoned Chocolate Case will definitely be my next Berkeley to read!
DeleteI've read both the Christies and the Patricia Wentworth, but I like the last two covers the best.
ReplyDeleteMe too! The Georgette Heyer's seems very intriguing - the way the woman sees you in the eye while drinking from the glass, her mask is undone. It intrigued me at once.. LOL!
DeleteHaven't read any of these, but "Sparkling Cyanide" is my favorite cover among them!
ReplyDeleteAnd no wonder too, it's rather suggestive, eh?
DeleteI've read both Sparkling Cyanide and The Poisoned Chocolates Case...and thought they were both good reads. :D
ReplyDeleteI've been wondering which Anthony Berkeley should I read first. Now I've made my mind: The Poisoned Chocolates Case it will be! :D
DeleteGreat picks! I've read the Christies, Heyer and the Clara Benson--enjoyed them all too!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read Clara Benson - would start from this one, then. Thanks for the recs!
