Reading the Detectives discussion

https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/...

Hi everyone.

I obtained permission Susan & Judy to post this. :)

I was made a moderator last year of The Far Pavilions & Beyond, a group for buddy reading the works of M. M. Kaye. The group was nearly dead, so the other moderators & I have rebranded as Retro Reads. We are looking at beloved writers from the 20 century, active or mostly active before 1979. Examples are Elizabeth Goudge, Anya Seton & Frances Parkinson Keyes. The only mystery writers we are intending to tackle are Frances Parkinson Keyes (The Royal Box) & M. M. Kaye herself, since it was her group!

Edit; we are also not intending to do authors with active GR groups - for example Georgette Heyer & Mary Stewart.

If this sounds like you come join us! :)

Sounds really interesting, Carol. Good luck with it and let us know your next read. I am SO tempted to join in, but am not sure I can fit in any more books!

Sounds great, Carol, wishing you all the best with the group! I've joined, though might not have time to be very active!

That is a great idea, Carol. I have joined but, like Judy, I don't know how active I will be but will try to support the group

I may stop in and out but I don't know how active I will be able to be. I am trying to work my way through some golden age detective fiction and Barbara Pym's work as well so I will see what I can do!
