June MysteryKIT: An Author New to You

For MysteryKIT in the month of June, we will be exploring authors new to us. That's it, read a book by an author you haven't read before. Think of it as your opportunity to dive into your book bullet list. Or, if you need a suggestion, try Agatha Christie, Dorothy Sayers, or Josephine Tey.

When the wiki's working again, I'll post a link.

Most of the mysteries on my treebook and virtual shelves are the next installments in series I'm reading but I do have some new authors.

Possibilities are:
City of Vengeance by D. V. Bishop
Celebrated Cases of Judge Dee by Robert Van Gulik
Errant Justice by R. H. Bishop

I just recently discovered the British Library Crime Classics and almost all of the books are by authors that are new-to-me. I have a few that I picked up at a local used book store that I'm going to try and hit for this prompt:

• Verdict of Twelve (by Raymond Postgate)
• The Spoilt Kill (Hedley Nicholson #1; by Mary Kelly)
• Murder in Picadilly (Chief Inspector Wake #1; by Charles Kingston)

My sister keeps telling me to read this one but we'll see. It's popular but my sister & I have such widely different tastes, I'm putting it on my "Maybe List":
• The Thursday Murder Club (The Thursday Murder Club #1; by Richard Osman)

Oddly, I have these two in my lists; but I cannot find them anywhere in my stacks or a record of my having purchased them-- so definitely long shots:
• Still Life with Murder (Nell Sweeney Mystery Series #1; by P. B. Ryan)
• Lady Helena Investigates (The Scott-De Quincy Mysteries #1; by Jane Steen)

ETA: Ah! The last two titles are buried in my Nook! The Nell Sweeney book is set in post-Civil War Boston, Massachusetts (USA) and the Scott-DeQuincy novel is another historical fiction set in 1881 Sussex. I admit I'm a little baffled as to how they made it into my stacks as I don't recall either being a recommendation or being in my wheelhouse; but there they are!

I plan to finally get around to reading the first volume in Louise Penny's Inspector Gamache series.

Oh wow, there are endless possibilities for this!

I have already planned to read A June of Ordinary Murders by Conor Brady for CalendarCAT, and it fits here as well.

I took a BB from Judy a while ago for Talking to the Dead by Harry Bingham which will work for this and also the AlphaKit.

ETA: Actually, more than a little while ago (2017 - yikes).

>6 dudes22: I have Talking to the Dead on my virtual bookshelf as well. I thought it was there because I'd read other books by the author, but apparently not.

>3 Tanya-dogearedcopy: I am going the same way - one of the British Library Crime Classics on Kindle Unlimited. So many to choose from!

I have Snow Angels by James Thompson in mind for June's MysteryKit.

>6 dudes22: I am sure you will love Talking to the Dead. :)

I've managed to collect a few Ed McBain novels and I've yet to read anything from him. I'm picking The Gutter and the Grave. Sounds intense.

I'm sure I'll have plenty for this on my tbr, though there are probably also lots that are continuing series (or not), but by authors I've already read. Positive I have enough options that I will still have options from authors I've not yet read.
