MAP BACK MONDAY: Delano Ames's She Shall Have Murder

Today is Map Back Monday. Today's Dell Map Back is She Shall Have Murder by Delano Ames  (1948). This is the first in the Dagobert Brown and Jane Hamish series. This one is set in London, so the London map is so appropriate! I love these old Map Backs.  And, in case you're just tuning in to this Monday feature, Dell Map Backs were a series of paperbacks, published in the 1940s and 1950s with a map of the scene of the crime on the back cover.

I have a few mapbacks, originally bought because I wanted to read them!Sadly, many are disintegrating and have been replaced by better copies. But the marvelous cover art and clever maps can still be enjoyed.

This is such a cool cover, and the map is so clever!
