I will offer this compromise...you are absolutely welcome to join in and post your reviews of "Dutch Delinquencies" mysteries in a Murderous Miscellany category and expose us to those types of mysteries. I am curious what exactly makes a vintage Dutch mystery. However, if you would like to be eligible for the prizes that will be on offer, then you will also need to complete at least one theme (and it can be miscellaneous as well) that absolutely meets the criteria I've set out. One qualified completed theme = entrance in the end-of-year prize drawing; two qualified completed themes = automatic prize. <br /><br />And will add...I would love to have you join us if this works for you.Bev Hankinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127476456755776574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516189026477178777.post-62880731579363982112011-11-15T09:18:34.562+01:002011-11-15T09:18:34.562+01:00Your kindness and generosity overwhelms me! ;)

Aren't I kind and generous? It sounds fairly good, at the very least enjoyable; and the impossible crime the back cover proposes sounds genuinely intriguing!Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01844617192737950378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516189026477178777.post-26843017089857201202011-11-15T01:52:58.593+01:002011-11-15T01:52:58.593+01:00Good to see another review of the Ancient Egypt se...Good to see another review of the Ancient Egypt series.Monte Herridgenoreply@blogger.com
