When we rented our holiday cottage in Grigadale, Land´s End, we had certain expectations to the view. We didn´t know what we were going to find inside the house, though. These four pictures are from the girls´ bedroom. I didn´t take photos of ALL the books - just the most important ones. If you click to enlarge the photos, you can see that there were around 250 crime novels on the shelves.

SvarSletAbsolutely fantastic I must get the address for next year's holiday. Also one of the books is a clue to the answer to my July miniquiz.
SvarSletBernadette, it was! My family dragged me away.
SvarSletNorman, oh, that is good to know. That really narrows it down ;)
I imagine your husbands thoughts: Oh, no. I will never get her out of the cottage! Goodbye holliday...
SvarSlet:-)
Søren, you are probably right. But I have hundreds of photos to prove that I DIDN´T stay indoors all day long :)
SvarSletI do wonder where all those crime novels came from, though. They must have belonged to a person who was just as crazy about crime fiction as I am.
one of those 'meant to be' places! cool.
SvarSletWow! Did you manage to read any of them?
SvarSletJackie: oh yes, I read three or four of them. I am going to post very short reviews of them over the next week or so.
SvarSletCare: yes, it was a fantastic surprise. It gave me an opportunity to try some authors who were new to me.
SvarSletA great story. We look foward to your reviews, and more photos.
SvarSletMartin, thank you. Actually, I may have read some of your ´forgotten books´ as I went for older series which I didn´t know already.
SvarSletThat's so wonderful that you found a cottage complete with its own crime novel library! The one we stayed at had a very small shelf with about ten paperbacks. That was it. Sounds like you found a great place to stay!
SvarSletA house made for you!!!!
SvarSletBelle and Beth: yes, perfect indeed for me. And my children found some great children´s literature (books they are really too old for but enjoyed re-reading in English, e.g. Astrid Lindgren´s Mardie series).
