Poll

The books in the poll are:

Somebody at the Door by Raymond Postgate

The Franchise Affair by Josephine Tey

Appleby's End by Michael Innes

A Rising Man by Abir Mukherjee

The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler

Nemesis at Raynham Parva aka Grim Vengeance by J.J. Connington

Gallows Court by Martin Edwards

Close this month. I loved A Rising Man, and enjoyed Gallows Court, but also really like the look of Somebody at the Door. Let's hope, whichever wins, some of these books are renominated.

I really must give Michael Innes another try. I enjoyed the first one, but then I got stuck - probably in the novel set in Scotland, which I found a real struggle!

Yes, very close - I see we have a tie at the moment! I have A Rising Man waiting on my Kindle, but I also liked The Franchise Affair and have been meaning to get back to Chandler and give Innes another try, and the others look good too. An embarrassment of riches, as you said!
