I1: Classic Mystery or Crime
The Mystery of Edwin Droodby Charles Dickens"
Anything by Dumas made me smile. I love him too, and need to read the Musketeer sequels. You also gave me an idea for Mystery or Crime. I have to read one of the copies I have of The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Looking forward to the rest of your choices. Good luck with your challenge!

Aubrey,just as I finish my Classic Bingo Challenge,I'd like to thank you for your kind recommendation which is certainly on my wish list.After Lockdown ends I hope to order it from my public library.Best wishes!
