'A cleverly plotted, witty whodunnit which transports you to a roller-coaster ride in 1930s London' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #SepulchreStreet is the ultimate glamorous, gothic mystery from @medwardsbooks! Coming in paperback: amzn.to/40BpcRt

The @agathachristie story "Five Little Pigs" is the perfect title for this week's #murdereverymonday topic given its central character is the artist Amyas Crale ... but surprisingly only the Tom Adams cover (not the Collins or Dodd 1sts) integrated this theme into the cover.
