The books read in May are by female authors-any genre as long as the author is female!

Happy reading, everyone!

I finished The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O'Farrell. It was an interesting and dangerous trip to Renaissance Italy.

I just finished The Crime at Black Dudley. This was my first Margery Allingham. I really enjoyed it. Any others you recommend?

Finished The Queens of Crime by Marie Benedict. It was a lot of fun for someone who loves those cozy golden age novels.

P. S. The queens of crime in The Queens of Crime include: Dorothy Sayers, Agatha Christie, Ngaio Marsh, Emma Orczy, and Margery Allingham. They become friends while solving a murder together. :)

I finished Dead Men Don't Ski by Patricia Moyes.
I plan on reading more books by this author. It was a good mystery.
