Both of those are favourites of mine, and fans of either will definitely enjoy An Expert in Murder.Debbie Rodgershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15630059470408161434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-4262244667067817052011-07-24T00:19:36.833-07:002011-07-24T00:19:36.833-07:00Danielle-- Oh yes, I've read Josephine Tey.

I've never been very interested in the theater, but this made me quite curious. I have her second book on hand--just need a moment to squeeze it in! Not sure if you've read any of Tey's books? But they are great, too!Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06415242678720695754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-91575656751125375642011-07-22T11:13:01.337-07:002011-07-22T11:13:01.337-07:00Margot-- I know that it's something I would ne...Margot-- I know that it's something I would never even attempt to do!<br /><br />Barbara-- Good!<br /><br />Joe-- You're very welcome!<br /><br />Pepper-- Yuck!

It's hard to evoke an author's personality and create a believable fictional character, but I agree with you; Upson does it well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
