Hi, I just joined this site. I noticed that you're a Da Vinci Code fan. Have you read Synarchy? Here's a link: www.synarchynovel.com/
I'm studying a widely publicized murder that took place in December, 1894 in Chautauqua County, N. Y. Anna Katharine Green lived in Buffalo much of her life. She had to be aware of it. I'm wondering if she incorporated anything from it in her work.

You're right. Fraktur is difficult to read, and the tz ligature does look like a k.
Hi, I was looking at your library because we have a lot of books in common. The first thing I see in your full catalog (I'm sorting by author) is Das Neue Testament und Der Psalter: nach der deutschen Ubersekung Martin Luthers. That can't be right, it should be "Übersetzung", not "Ubersekung". It won't actually help you any, at the moment, to fix it, because apparently nobody else has this anyway, but if anybody does later add it, you have a better chance of it combining if it's spelled right.
Paul, thanks for the recommendations. I've read bits and pieces of some of those authors (Collins, Chesterton), but I'll check the library out for the others. I have a tag "swashbuckler" so in that sense I guess I do like adventure stories. Some of Allingham's come close to that feel. (Should we say that they swash or buckle? Seems there should be a verb in there somewhere.)
We share so many mysteries that I must look through your library for writers I haven't tried! Looks like I might find things I like. Do you have any particular authors you favor?
I must say, you have excellent taste. ;)
Welcome to a fellow Lucia fan! :)
