I’ve been re-reading some old novels, several of them by Josephine Tey, one of two pseudonyms for Elizabeth Mackintosh, a Scottish author. Her most famous book, starring Scotland Yard Inspector Alan Grant, is “Daughter of Time.”
“Daughter of Time” in 1990 was named by the British-based Crime Writer’s Association as the greatest mystery novel of all time. Another of her books was number eleven on the list of 100 books.
But these quotes, which I enjoyed, come from “The Man in the Queue.” Despite some obviously older-sounding language, as they were written in the 30’s-50’s, they brought a smile to my face. As the second pertains to Monday, I thought it appropriate. If you have a chance, pick up one of her books and let me know what you think. (more…)
This, that and the other thing
