I have completed the Vintage Mystery Reading Challenge hosted by Bev at MyReadersBlock. I opted for the Golden Age Girls and read seven mystery books by women writers published before the 1960. I started the Challenge with a re-read of The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie, my all time favourite author. It was as good as reading for the first time. All the other authors I read were new to me. I read a book each by Mary Roberts Rinehart, Anna Katherine Green, Marie Belloc Lowndes, Geraldine Bonner, Augusta Groner and Ngaio Marsh. I read six ebooks available in the Public Domain for free from Gutenberg and borrowed Ngaio Marsh from library. I enjoyed reading all these authors and look forward to reading more books by these authors. I was not disappointed with any of the books. They were all fun.
The mysteries I read are
The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie(1920)
The Man in Lower Ten by Mary Roberts Rinehart(1906)
The Amethyst Box by Anna Katherine Green(1905)
