Book Recommendations for Clue Tasks

Here's another great cover for the Gun:

[Tracey]

And I wonder if this is a glass structure? (Yes, I think I might be a tad obsessed.)

[Viji]

Found this free today:
The Cavalier of the Apocalypse by Susanne Alleyn

[Jean]

Thanks for the heads-up on the book.

is a wonderful read, I rated it 5. It should cover beverages.

[Tracey]

I had no interest in doing anything I should have been doing this weekend, so I did this:

It's far from comprehensive - I've been using Audible; I left out authors I don't like; and I skipped a lot of books I've read, or which were later in series. If anyone gets stuck, they're more than welcome to wander through the boards!

[Jean]

This wonderful, thank you Tracey. Bravo!

[Veronica]

Thanks, Tracey! :-)

[Libby]

Tracey! What great work. I may use it if I get stuck on finding a book! If that is okay?

[Tracey]

Absolutely! I hope it's helpful.

I want to add my thanks to Tracy for her pinterest work! For another book with a corpse or body on the cover: St. Peter's Fair. This is the edition I have, so may not be available now, but if I ever draw that category, I will probably use it.

[Gretchen]

I need ballroom and/or group of people on cover help.

I was on such a roll.

[Jean]

Professor Plum---Purple Cover

I really enjoyed this and rated it 5.

[Sandy]

The Molly Thynne books all have scissors on the cover, - good for office supplies

Also

[Patricia]

For the kitchen: Latter End; . This cover may not seem like it, but it is on sale for Kindle with a broken tea cup on what seems to be a kitchen table.

Yes, there is another cover with the tea cup

[Patricia]

I just checked with my library & Hoopla also shows the one showing on Amazon Kindle.

[Gretchen]

I'm looking through my TBR trying to find books for the cover with a body task. I have found three so far:

The Miss Silver Mysteries - The Watersplash, by Patricia Wentworth also has a floating body on the cover.

[Sandy]

I used for the body task

[Margaret]

Is this enough purple for Professor Plum?



You may have to enlarge it to really see it.

[Lauren]

Yes, it is purple enough.

[Margaret]

or purple cover

Kitchen -

Hope that helps!

[Libby]

Help! I need a book with “slash, cut, slice” etc. in title or author’s name! I have scanned lists for hours. Lauren, is the rule that, if we land on the item in Clue again we do the other items until we have done the All?

[Gretchen]

Alright, I have landed on the Ballroom square again. I already did the task for a group of people on the cover. Now I need a dancer. I could use a few more suggestions.


Thanks!

I have a couple of ideas I've been "saving" for that task:

[Lauren]

[Viji]

Would Murder on Nob Hill by Shirley Tallman work for the task:
Professor Plum - Read a book with a purple cover?

Thanks.

[Lauren]

Hi Viji,
Sorry for the late reply - I was overseas without access to the Internet.

Anyway, I'm also sorry about the cover because it is only partially purple. Most of it is white, yellow and blue.

Did you ever find a book? I am going to read Cut to the Quick for that task.

Answered in the Rules and questions thread. Here's the LINK

[Tracey]

Does anyone know of a good book for the first Kitchen option? "Read a book with a kitchen on the cover"? The only one I could find was Murder in the Servants' Hall, and it is TERRIBLE. I flatly refuse to read more than I already fought through - which wasn't much.

[QNPoohBear]

Kitchen – Read a book with a kitchen on the cover OR a book with any item typically found in a kitchen on the cover (dish, food).

[Sandy]

The Mrs Jeffries cover might just be set in a kitchen. Those may be white cabinets in the background.

[Tracey]

Thanks - I did the second option (thing found in kitchen); I think Mrs. Jeffries might be my only option. Wasn't too thrilled with the only other Mrs. Jeffries novel I read, so ... *sigh*

[Lauren]

Still Life with Murder has food on the cover. It's a great book.

[Tracey]

Yes, I loved that book! I just wish there was another option for "Read a book with a kitchen on the cover". There are plenty of contemporary cozies, but not much in the hist-myst category.

[Lauren]

Tracey wrote: "I just wish there was another option for "Read a book with a kitchen on the cover""

Yes, that is why I included food or any utensil or item that can be found in a kitchen for the task. Not enough kitchens in historical mysteries :(

[Tracey]

Oh! Then I've been misunderstanding from day one, I think - I thought the goal was to read all the options. Thanks! *phew*

We have discovered a criminally underserved niche in historical mysteries! We need more historical culinary cozies!

[Lauren]

No worries. Hope this increases your options.

For the task -
Category: 1. GENERAL CLUE TRIVIA
3. read a book with 324 pages

A Play of Isaac by Margaret Frazer

[Gretchen]

I used this book for the ballroom/dancer task - A Useful Woman
Honestly, if I wouldn't have been reading this book for a task, I wouldn't have finished it. I found it tedious and irritating. I don't care about rich people problems.


So now I'm on to needing a rope on the cover. I've checked Tracey's Pinterest board but nothing is jumping out to me.

[Sandy]

Some of the Monk series , once he is in the river police, have ships with rigging ...as does

Sorry it didn't work for you Gretchen. You can always switch a book out for something else.
