Two Envelopes And A Phone’s Reviews > Murder by the Book: Mysteries for Bibliophiles > Status Update

Sort of a three-star anthology, thus far. I need a few of these tales to wow me. The Julian Symons story - much as I enjoyed some of his novels - seemed particularly uninspired and transparent. Anyway, next is Roy Vickers, and we'll see how that goes.

Right…I didn’t really see this ‘problem’ coming, but I should’ve. Some of these bibliomysteries qualify as such, not because they feature a bookstore murder, or murdered writer or bookseller; instead, a clue will relate to a certain literary work, and it may be one I haven’t read. Or something I’ve forgotten. Just encountered this, and I do hope most of the tales aren’t like this.
