I used to read alot of Dorothy Cannell (did I spell it right?)and Dorothy Sayers when I was in high school. Your blog brings back fond memories of those books. I think that I will start reading them again. I always liked British authors.

Violette, I wonder if you will like those authors as much now as you did then. That's exactly how I feel about Victoria Holt…I have wondered if I would like her novels as much now as I did years ago, when I read them at my grandmother's house. And, yes, you spelled it right!
By the way, I enjoyed perusing your Hand Quilting site…
