The book I read

Actually, I have not read any of these books.
These are, as you can see, a collection of crime novels by Essex born author, Robert Barnard.
My mother was having a clear out and gave them to me. The covers of theses American, paperback issues were actually painted by by brother. He has done several others, including The Red House Mystery, which was the crime novel by A. A. Milne, he who wrote Winnie The Pooh. We also have the original painting of it.
