I just finished re-reading one of my favorite 30's-era British mysteries.
connie, may I ask what the book is?
Welcome to the Hellmouth petting zoo.
Buffy ,'Beneath You'
Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So does that mean if you have UK only or US only, you're solid?
Yeah, if your editions match, you'll have the complete set of stories.

"Hamlet, Revenge" by Michael Innes. I don't read it so much for the mystery but for the characters.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
"Hamlet, Revenge" by Michael Innes.
Oh, that was a fun one. It's been a while since I've read that.

Because books.
I began my usual pre-Halloween reading two weeks ago. Read Holly Black's Tithe, which I really liked, and then picked up Stephenie Meyer's Twilight (Girl moves to new town, meets vampire, falls in love.), which looked promising -- and is boring me. I put it down to read Nora's Morrigan's Cross, which is all right so far, but not wowing me.
This makes me sad. I have a few stories left in a copy of Edith Wharton's Ghost Stories that I didn't finish last year, but right now I'm tempted just to reread The Haunting of HIll House.

Morrigan's Cross does get better the further you get into it. I liked the second one better, and am looking forward to the third book being released next Tuesday.

Oh, that's good. Right now I'm like, Hoyt! Stop whining.

I'm reading a "hallowe'en appropriate" book right now, that I read about in Entertainment Weekly. EW gave it an "A". I'm giving it a B+.
It's called Greywalker. and it's a supernatural mystery.

Hee! That's about right, actually. It gets better when he's not the primary focus of the story.
