    Good variety, Ryan. I have never read books by Mary Roberts Rinehart and E. Phillips Oppenheim although they're on my list of books to read. I'm also going to look up "The Unsuspected" by Charlotte Armstrong.

    Sounds like fun! I might have to give it a go in 2014. Still need to read some Mary Roberts Rinehart.

    What a cool idea. I came to this post because I write vintage novels or stories with vintage settings as well as blog about stuff. I hadn't thought of a mystery reading spree! Love it. Very inspired! Thanks!
