2016 CHALLENGE: Vintage Mystery Challenge, Wrap Up Post


COMPLETED

I finished nine books for this challenge. This is my wrap up post. My nine books are listed below and the nine items I found for the scavenger hunt are checked off on this card:


One of my all-time favorite challenges is the Vintage Mystery Challenge hosted by Bev at My Reader's Block. I did the Silver Version again this year, which involves reading mystery books published between 1960 - 1989.

The Scavenger Hunt involves finding as many items on the list above in the covers of the books read.

A New Lease of Death by Ruth Rendell (1967; Inspector Wexford #2; Just One Person)



Payment in Blood by Elizabeth George (1989; Inspector Lynley #2; Bloodstains)



Death and the Joyful Woman by Ellis Peters (1961; Inspector Felse #2; Edgar Award Winner; A Blonde)



Billingsgate Shoal by Rick Boyer ((1982; Doc Adams #1; Edgar Award Winner; a boat, although it's hard to see)



Don't Point That Thing At Me by Kyril Bonfiglioli (1972; Mortdecai Trilogy #1; a bottle for drinking)



After You with the Pistol by Kyril Bonfiglioli (1979; Mortdecai Trilogy #2; a hand holding a weapon)



Something Nasty in the Woodshed by Kyril Bonfiglioli (1976; Mortdecai Trilogy #3; the moon)

  1. I didn't know there was a Vintage Mystery challenge — cool! I haven't read most of the books you chose, but I have read the Ellis Peters. I love her mysteries, both the Cadfael series and the Felse mysteries. I think I've read the P.D. James, too, but it's been so long that I can't remember which of her titles I read. I hope you find some more good mysteries in 2017!
