It could be a coincidence, but it seems more likely that it's a wink for readers familiar with EJO. Thanks for pointing it out!Furrowed Middlebrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065110409019861653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595702824833504762.post-70091565479672764272015-10-04T11:37:46.197-07:002015-10-04T11:37:46.197-07:00I think you'd enjoy them, Susan.

The Toronto book sales sound enticing--maybe we should plan a Canada trip after our England one next year!Furrowed Middlebrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065110409019861653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595702824833504762.post-48946345871506931862015-10-03T12:19:00.875-07:002015-10-03T12:19:00.875-07:00I loved Gin and Murder, and liked Murder strikes p...I loved Gin and Murder, and liked Murder strikes pink almost as much so will do my best to find a copy of 'They Died in Spring'.

I must try and track them down.<br /><br />By the way, encouraged by your thrillingly successful visit to the Book Sale recently, I trotted off the the Victoria College (U of T) book sale, but was sadly let down. Only one book, Brat Farrar, to replace a missing-but-somewhere-in-the-house copy. University of Toronto colleges have book sales every fall, one after the other, but I'm unlikely to get to any of the rest, what with trip plans and all. <br /><br />For those in the area: http://www.booksalefinder.com/utgeneral.htmlSusan Dhttp://www.susandaly.comnoreply@blogger.com
