I'm a HUGE Sherlock Holmes fan. I've read every Sherlock Holmes ever written by Sir Doyle. :)

Wow! And then there were none and Crooked house are two of my favorite Christie’s novels too! And I also love the murder of Roger Ackroyd!😍

[nola]

THE WOMAN IN WHITE deserves more recognition 😭

[bramvangompel]

The Complete Sherlock Holmes is my personal bible, I always keep it close at hand
Love the adaptations starring Jeremy Brett, btw!

You mentioned so many of my favourites that clearly I need to add the rest to my tbr 😃 Yay to Father Brown and Sherlock, also love Arsène Lupin.

[jaydenreads-kgpw]

Yay! I love, "The Women in White, " and I don't know of anyone else who has read it.

I have just read "hags nook" and became a fan of dr gideon fell.

[MaryAmongStories]

loved this video, i needed these recommendations :D

[madison]

Oh my godddd your background covers are so beautiful!

[LisbethJimenez]

I have to check out Dorothy Sayer and GK Chesterton. I love re-reading all of the Sherlock Holmes stories, it is a shame he was not more prolific. Thanks for the recommendations.

I ought to read the Christie novels that aren't part of a series. You've covered most of the classic mysteries I've read. I'm hoping to read some Margery Allingham this month, in order that the classic crime I read isn't all related to Christie, but it's difficult because she's all I really think of when I think classic mystery.

[maybritt]

Thanks for a great list. As Peter Wimsey’s greatest fan, I would say that Gaudy Night is for readers who already know and love him! I would suggest Strong Poison, the first part of the romance and an interesting contemplation on 1930s style feminism!

"I'm not saying that to sound like you're waiting for my favorites " well I'm waiting for you're favorites 😢

[trekkiebeth]

You randomly appeared in my recommended videos and I'm subscribing for your love of classics and your great personality! I also love your Penguin clothbound collection. :)

[marcevan]

I agree with you about "The Woman in White." I couldn't put it down. I did think the ending was a bit of a letdown, but otherwise I thought it was smashing.

[heman]

You should give this one a try if you havent already read it....My Name is Red by Orhan Pamuk. It is sort of literary whodunnit though you can guess the doer towards the end.

[danecobain]

Good to see Graham Greene represented!

[TheNathanj]

Have you read any PD James would love to hear what you thought

[nilulal]

Your suggestions always makes me say whoa!! I just got my copy of woman in white.. Very anxiously waiting to start reading! As always awesome choices😊

[WomanVsBooks]
