Some 1959 Titles (for Past Offences)
The latest monthly challenge over at Past Offences is to read a book in January, published in 1959. Here are some British/European crime titles to choose from, first published in English in 1959, pulled from my database. This information is correct to the best of my knowledge however please do double check dates before spending any cash!:

These were some of the authors that both motivated me to read and inspired me to write. I still like picking up their books once in a while. Classics are always the best!
Thanks Karen. I've just read Psycho but I've been meaning to read The Pledge for years so this is probably a good chance to get hold of that too.
